Skycab - Silverstone Helicopter Transfer Service

Silverstone Helicopter - F1 British Grand Prix Transfer Service

Jetranger Helicopter Skycab has been operating helicopter shuttles to the British Grand Prix since 1981. This year our fleet of 6 seat LongRanger and 4 seat Jetranger helicopters will be operating from Greatworth Hall which is located just 8 minutes drive from junction 11 on the M40. All our passengers will be allocated precise departure times in each direction to eliminate delays. The earlier you book the greater the choice of flight times in each direction.

Your Departure Point

Will be Greatworth Hall, which is located on the B4525 about seven miles east of junction 11 on the M40. The hall is well signposted and easy to find, located about half way between Banbury and Silverstone. There is good car parking in the grounds of the hall.

Price & Payment Options

Seats available from £399 plus VAT each, on Sunday 8th July 2012. Seats on Saturday 7th July 2012 are £349 plus VAT each. Flight time will be about ten minutes in each direction. You may pay by Mastercard or Visa as well as by cheque. Company invoices can be produced as requested. The full balance will be due six weeks prior to the event.

Traffic Jams & Access

Greatworth is well outside the traffic jam zone, but you must exercise caution both in the morning and evening not to stray into areas any nearer the circuit. All passengers will receive a detailed map together with the final departure details a week prior to the event, and it is wise to study this carefully in advance.

Flight Times

Flights in to the circuit will operate from 0700 - 1100, and in the evening from 1500 - 1900. You may request approximate times in and out, but once allocated these must be strictly adhered to. Passengers must report at least 15 minutes prior to the allocated take off time in each direction.

  • Refreshments prior to departure from Greatworth Hall
  • Parking at Greatworth and detailed map for directions
  • Helicopter safety briefing at check-in
What's Not Included

Entrance to the circuit - Many guests have prepaid grandstand seats or hospitality passes. If in any doubt call Silverstone Circuit on +44 (0)8704 588200.

Bad Weather Cancellation

Certain bad weather conditions mean that helicopters will be unable to fly. Poor visibility, fog, low cloudbase or very high winds may mean waiting until weather improves.

In the exceptional circumstances that we are unable to fly passengers in either direction, we have arranged coach transport from Greatworth Hall to the centre of the circuit, or return.

If flights are delayed by, for example, a late start to the flying programme due to fog in the morning, then flights will operate strictly in order of original departure time.

We regret that in the event of weather conditions cancelling the flight programme, there will be no refunds. Acceptance of these cancellation clauses is a condition of booking.

Why Our Service Is Superior

All Skycab passengers have precise pre-booked flight times in each direction to cut down on waiting.

Many competitors use schools, farms or airstrips with a marquee for the departure point. These maybe hard to find, and can be unpleasant in bad weather. Greatworth Hall on the other hand is well known in the region, and offers professional hospitality with free secure car parking.

Refunds can only be made if the seats can be re-sold. Cancellations made within two weeks of the event will incur loss of all monies paid. Passenger name changes are acceptable but must be advised in advance. Cancelled seats which can be re-sold will incur a fee of £50 per seat.

Skycab staff at Greatworth Hall Silverstone arrange your car parking, check-in, hospitality and helicopter boarding.
