Merseyside Helicopter Rides
Fly above Liverpool for skyline, city and football sightseeing, or take the front seat beside the pilot with Ultimate Co-Pilot from Aintree Racecourse.
Liverpool looks very different from a helicopter
From Liverpool Helipad, the city quickly becomes the reason to keep looking out of the window. Short helicopter flights sit alongside dedicated Liverpool sightseeing, skyline views and football routes featuring some of the city’s most recognisable sporting landmarks.
At Aintree Racecourse, the experience changes completely. Ultimate Co-Pilot puts the voucher holder in the front passenger seat beside the pilot for approximately eight minutes in the air, making the cockpit and the sensation of flying the centre of the occasion.
Choose Where to Fly
See Liverpool from above or make the cockpit itself part of the experience at Aintree.

Aintree Helicopter Rides

Skyline. Stadiums. The front seat at Aintree.
Liverpool gives you a lot to aim the camera at. The shorter flights deliver the helicopter thrill and a first glimpse of the city skyline, while the dedicated sightseeing choices bring Liverpool itself into focus. The 30 minute themed tour adds the city and Anfield, and the All Stars football flight features Hill Dickinson Stadium and Anfield.
Aintree has a different sort of pull. Ultimate Co-Pilot puts the voucher holder beside the pilot for approximately eight minutes in the air from one of Merseyside’s most famous sporting venues. The appeal is immediate: front seat, forward view and the feeling of being close to the flying itself.
Whether the occasion calls for Liverpool from above or the cockpit experience at Aintree, Merseyside gives the helicopter a memorable backdrop from the moment the rotors start turning.
