New terminal opens at London Heliport

The new passenger terminal at the London Heliport is open. PremiAir, the UK’s largest executive helicopter charter company, operates the heliport on behalf of its parent Von Essen Group.

The Von Essen Group owns luxury hotels and will open Hotel Verta next to the London Heliport in September. The London Heliport is in Battersea, South London. It is London’s only central commercial heliport.

“We’re incredibly excited about the new passenger terminal,” said David McRobert, PremiAir’s group managing director. “From a business aviation perspective it is now a superb facility and, in conjunction with Hotel Verta, it really will provide heliport users with immediate access to an exceptional range of on-site services that are unique in the business aviation world.”

The new terminal replaces one originally built when the heliport was opened by Westland Helicopters in 1959. There is also more room to park helicopters, an upgraded control tower and new facilities for the heliport’s fire and rescue team.
