Travelling to the various horse racing meetings can be difficult, with traffic queues and long journeys. It’s frustrating when you have to spend hours travelling to a racecourse, only to find that you can’t get close to the action because of all the other spectators. Why not take a helicopter direct from your home or from Battersea Heliport in Central London to get to the racecourse? Our helicopters will fly you directly to the course, so you can avoid all the big traffic queues, the perfect way to travel in style and convenience.

Looking for inspiration, why not consider one of the big race meets this year?

Whether you play golf yourself or love watching the stars play in the major tournaments, travel can be a hassle. Long airport queues can be tedious and time consuming – particularly when you’re trying to fit it in and around work  – your friends schedules don’t work either – why not charter a jet or a helicopter to get you to the event? Chartering a private jet is the perfect way to get away on your next golfing holiday or to the next major tournament. You’ll avoid long airport queues and be able to travel on your own schedule from an airport close to you.

Looking for inspiration, these are the major tournaments this year?

Sentinel Aviation founder, Roland Dangerfield, recently shared with Billionaire Magazine the most stunning and remote places he has visited in a private jet – from Tswalu in South Africa to Alta Airport in North Norway…

“With so much uncertainty still in the air, it is hard to see how and when the luxury travel market will rebound. COVID-19 has not been kind to the charter aviation industry. According to TRAQPak Flight Activity Data, in November 2020, North American charter flights were down 16 percent, and European were down nearly 23 percent from 2019.

But there are reasons to be optimistic about the charter flight industry this year. After lockdowns and restrictions, while people will likely travel less overall, they may be looking for out-of-the-ordinary destinations when they do, including remote locations and those embracing nature.

Travellers in the near future may also find the privacy of private residences or rentals more attractive than the shared spaces of hotels, and likewise a private aircraft as opposed to commercial, to avoid contact with strangers.”

Roland Dangerfield, founder of Sentinel Aviation, shares the most incredible and remote places he has flown to in a private jet.

The Resident is the exclusive online platform that champions aspirational lifestyle with luxury. Judith goes on further:

“No longer just used by the rich and famous, families of all sizes and even cats and dogs have been taking the private route.

A mad dash to see loved ones, a visit to a second home or just the desire for minimal interaction with other passengers are some of the reasons for splashing out on private flights.

With the downturn in business travel, there has been a shift from corporate bookings to leisure bookings since the pandemic.

One company, Sentinel Aviation, was actually founded in the middle of the global pandemic last year specifically to deliver a discreet and safe aircraft charter and management experience for private clients…”
