So sorry we have been very quiet but we have been working hard behind the scenes to make sure we are ready to open our doors as soon as we are given the go ahead. As many of you are aware our helicopters are kept in pristine condition so we are adapting our hangar and visitors centre in line with the government recommendations. This will help ensure all our customers have a safe visit.
We have attached a link to the update that the Gov.uk have published which clearly states at the moment that we are unable to fly with our passengers, this is very disheartening but we are very optimistic this will change.
We are also working very closely with the Civil Aviation Authority who govern our flights. These processes take time but as soon as we have any news we will be updating our webpage and all our social media pages to keep everyone advised. We will be completing Risk Assessments for Health and Safety which we will put forward to the relevant bodies.
