Seamless Travel to the London Olympics


With the London Olympics only week’s away slot availability at the major London airports is diminishing fast, with congestion, delays and high costs almost inevitable.

Execflyer is pleased to announce that we will now be able to offer, through London Oxford airport a complete end to end solution, allowing clients to avoid the issues associated with the big London airfields and make use of Jet, Helicopter and boat transfers to get to the Olympic site faster than ever – all at a reduced cost.

After landing at Oxford, clients will be whisked straight on to a helicopter and make the 22 minute flight to Battersea heliport, where a Sunseeker luxury power yacht, will take them to the Olympic stadiums boat mooring in less than 40 minutes.
This solution encompasses the best of all solutions available and critically keeps clients off the roads, which are forecast to be at gridlock for most of the games period.

Jamie Dickson, head of charter sales said “During the Olympics period we will be urging clients to avoid the major London airports, Luton, Farnborough, Biggin etc, although we will of course still be offering clients the choice of these airfields. Our helicopter and boat package really is the best way of getting from your aircraft to the stadium with a minimal chance of delays and congestion by staying off the roads.”

In anticipation of the Olympic Games, Execflyer has put in place a number of solutions for moving clients in and out of London utilising a mix of Helicopters, Fixed wing aircraft, Boats and cars to ensure no matter what event or location we have it covered. The two helicopter sites, Battersea and Damyns hall will be available with a car service and reserved parking spaces only 5 minutes from the Olympic stadium.
