The Busiest Airspace In The World.

For over 40 years, Helipad have operated Event Heliports for the largest sporting, lifestyle & music events, managing the busiest airspace in the world during peak operation. We are the only licensed temporary aerodrome provider in the UK. We build it, run it, and take it away.

What we do

A licensed airport, on wheels, where you want it and when you need it.

Helipad is a temporary aerodrome operator. We arrive with the control tower, fire service, fuel supply and passenger terminal, and we manage the airspace for the days that matter. Passengers get the facilities and convenience of a commercial airport, but just metres away from their final destination.
