Chipping Norton Helicopter Rides

Start with flying time. The shortest choices give you 5 or 8 minutes in the air and keep the experience focused on the thrill of helicopter flight. The next shared options offer 10, 12, 15 or 18 minutes for more sightseeing. The 30 minute North Cotswold Scenic Tour is the longest shared flight, while the private R44 choices extend all the way to a full hour in the air.

Flights depart from Enstone Airfield on Banbury Road, Enstone, Oxfordshire OX7 4NS, east of Chipping Norton. Use the map for general orientation and follow the exact entrance, parking and meeting instructions supplied with your booking.

The shared range includes A View of North Oxfordshire, the North Oxfordshire Scenic Tour, the City of Oxford Tour and the longer North Cotswold Scenic Tour. The private range adds North Oxfordshire, North Cotswold and Extended Cotswold sightseeing. Exact routing and visible landmarks depend on the flight chosen and conditions on the day.

The same local sightseeing name can appear against different flight formats. For example, the 25 Mile Adventure and the UK Wide City Helicopter Tour are both offered as North Oxfordshire Scenic Tours, but they have different flying times. A private flight can use the same sightseeing name again while reserving the R44 for your own party. Compare flying time and shared or private format rather than relying on the route title alone.

The 30 Min Themed Helicopter Sightseeing Tour becomes the North Cotswold Scenic Tour at Enstone, with approximately 30 minutes in the air within an overall experience of around 60 minutes. A separate 45 Mile private R44 flight also uses the North Cotswold Scenic Tour name, but reserves the helicopter for your own party.

Yes. The 20 Min Helicopter Pleasure Flight is offered from Enstone as the City of Oxford Tour, with approximately 18 minutes in the air. Choose that flight when Oxford is the named sightseeing focus rather than assuming every longer Enstone option follows the same route.

There are four private R44 choices from Enstone: 12, 25 and 45 mile flights with approximately 8, 15 and 30 minutes in the air, plus the 60 Minute PRIVATE Flight in an R44 Helicopter with a full hour of flying. The R44 is reserved for your own party of up to three passengers.

No. The private R44 flight price is for the helicopter and your group of up to three passengers rather than a per-person fare. Check the individual private flight before buying for the current group price and the passenger weight requirements that apply.

Blue Skies combines a five minute flight with bubbly after landing, while Extended Blue Skies gives you approximately eight minutes in the air before the celebratory finish. Ultimate Co-Pilot also provides approximately eight minutes flying, but puts the voucher holder in the front seat beside the pilot and includes an aviation key ring and a £5 beer token.

Spectators are welcome subject to the access arrangements for the flight. Helicopter flying is weather dependent and may need to be rearranged if conditions are unsuitable. Open-dated vouchers are valid for 12 months. Standard sightseeing experiences have a minimum age of 6 and a maximum individual passenger weight of 95 kg, while private flights can also have combined passenger limits. Check the individual flight for the requirements that apply.
