SaxonAir expands helicopter operation

Norwich based aviation operator and service provider SaxonAir has announced the issue of its new rotary air operators certificate (AOC). This latest development through approval from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will allow SaxonAir to expand its helicopter operations into new markets with the addition of further helicopters to deal with the demand being received.

SaxonAir has been operating its private jet fleet on its fixed-wing AOC for over seven years in which time the aircraft fleet has expanded rapidly to include the growing development of private aircraft under management. SaxonAir's rotary operations will trade under the name SaxonAir Helicopters having previously being carried out by the AOC of London Helicopter Centres.

SaxonAir Helicopters operates leisure and business charters, pleasure flights for the tourism industry across East Anglia and the Norfolk Broads, agricultural survey contracts, aerial filming and photography, as well as specialist tasks for the energy and renewables industry.

Anna Loake, pilot and head of ground operations says, 'We have been operating helicopters at SaxonAir for several years now, but the addition of our own operating licence enables us to fully enhance business opportunities developing our scope and area of operations.'

SaxonAir Helicopters forms part of the Klyne Aviation Group, which includes private and business jet aviation specialists SaxonAir Charter, ground handling and offshore support business SaxonAir Flight Support and the newly formed SaxonAir Aircraft Sales.
