Helicopter operators wanting to fly into London now have a less costly alternative to the London Heliport at Battersea. Aircraft charter broker Jet Booking Direct is offering the use of a temporary landing site at The Ham Polo Club for VFR movements only.

Operators wanting to land at Ham will have to be pre-approved as meeting the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s rule five congestion clearance requirements and carry at least $5 million in liability insurance. Then they need to give at least 24 hours’ notice to Jet Booking Direct, which arranges the landing with the club.
