The client needed a VIP transfer back to the airport following a business trip.
Arranging a helicopter transfer to a CEO’s private jet
Our Houston office was contacted by the corporate flight manager of an insurance firm in Texas, who was arranging a business trip to the UK for the CEO. Accompanied by executives and a security team, the CEO was flying to London on the company jet and staying overnight in the city’s financial district. Our help was needed to arrange a VIP transfer from the group’s final meeting to the airport for their flight home.
Our Solution
Routes: City of London > Stansted Airport
Aircraft: 2 x AgustaWestland 109s
Working together across different time zones, our teams in Houston and London came up with an ideal solution within 24 hours.
Reaching out to local operators, we sourced two luxury helicopters to fly the eight passengers from central London back to their private jet.
Our experts secured special permission to land on a sports field near the group’s final meeting, ensuring they could transition easily from the office to the waiting aircraft.
As this was the client’s first helicopter charter, we sent two members of our team to meet the CEO’s head of security and go over the arrangements beforehand. Our reps were also there later on to greet the group and ensure they departed smoothly.
The Finer Details
Flight Representation: Sending team members to personally oversee the charter gave the client peace of mind that everything was in hand.
Exceptional Service: Our client appreciated us going above and beyond to ensure the charter ran seamlessly, describing the process as ‘flawless’ and ‘a great experience’.
