We have extensive experience within our field. Helipad exists to support you, the passenger, and the helicopter industry, in our shared quest to operate swiftly and safely at all times.
Consultancy
Helipad has access to services engaged in aviation in the UK and Europe, as well having detailed knowledge of legislation and operational framework.
We strive to maintain a level of positive engagement with others in the industry, notably those engaged in the areas of innovation and logistics.
Our in-house team has developed unique systems, devices and processes to manage our business offering. We will continue to contribute to others who may share similar journeys.
Aircraft Purchase
A helicopter can be an incredible asset to any business or private individual, but the potential pitfalls and risks are also daunting. It can be difficult to get unbiased information on any potential transaction.
We offer a ‘no commissions’ unbiased consultancy service to buyers and sellers, cutting through the sales patter and giving valuable insight into the good and bad aspects of any aircraft sale.
Legislation and Operation
Helipad has operated airfields that handle 10 to 600 aircraft, both licensed and unlicensed. Our depth of knowledge in the ‘field’ (pun intended) can save you time and money when considering changes or even new airfields in the UK.
Airspace and Traffic Control
Our in-house Air Traffic Control team are operating in some of the most demanding environments in the world.
With so many decades of experience and the latest innovative technology at our fingertips, we can offer flexible and effective ATC and Airspace solutions.
