EPSOM DERBY :: ELITE HELICOPTERS

The Epsom Derby is Britain’s richest horse race, first run over 230 years ago. The first race was in 1779, and is one of the five Classics. It is also a major highlight of the social calendar. A very popular event which attracts huge crowds and has its own heliport with courtesy transport to the racecourse.

The Epsom Derby Festival is run over two days, with Ladies Day on Friday 4 June and Derby Day on Saturday 5 June.

Elite Helicopters specialise in flights to special events, including horse racing, polo matches, motor racing, regattas and music festivals. Our fleet ranges from the recession-busting Robinson R44 through to the VVIP Agusta 109, and also includes the ever-popular Jet Ranger, Long Ranger and AS350 Squirrel.

Elite Helicopters is offering a bespoke helicopter charter service to the event. Using an AS350 Squirrel, which can carry up to five passengers in comfort, a flight from London (Battersea) Heliport to Epsom will take only 10 minutes. The same flight from Goodwood will take only 20 minutes. This means you can see your horse in the last race at Epsom – and still be home for dinner!
