Starspeed's Helicopters



Starspeed has a fleet of 13 executive helicopters of 5 different types (Sikorsky S76, Eurocopter EC155, AS365 Dauphin, EC135 and AS355N Twin Squirrel) under management, most of which are also available for charter. Each helicopter is optimised to meet the specific requirements of its owner or charter customer whilst adhering to strict safety standards. This is determined by the number of seats, size of landing sites, engine power available, and size of fuel tank; and it can be a fine balance. From there the options are virtually endless, concerning cockpit equipment for different flight regimes to passenger equipment such as In Flight Entertainment. However, if you can define the question, Starspeed can give the answer.

All Starspeed aircraft are twin-engined and certified for flight in cloud and at night, which dramatically improves safety and capability. Starspeed is privileged to manage some very special executive helicopters on behalf of an equally select group of owners.
