We were asked to arrange a last-minute helicopter transfer from the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne amidst limited availability.
Helicopter flight from the Australian Grand Prix
In April 2022, we were contacted by a pilot who was flying an affluent property developer from the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne to New Zealand. The client needed a helicopter transfer from the race in Albert Park to Essendon Airport to catch their flight, but availability was limited, so we sprung into action to find a solution for this last-minute request.
Our Solution
Route: Albert Park > Essendon
Aircraft: Eurocopter AS350B Écureuil
Our experienced team got in touch with a local helicopter operator we’ve worked with for years, who was able to charter a helicopter for the four passengers. Our contact provided details of all available slots and then held the ones we wanted while we awaited final confirmation from the client.
