Maybourne, Flextjet team up for heli transfers across London hotels
Maybourne hotels said the transfer saves guests more than an hour compared to travelling by road.
Maybourne has expanded its partnership with Flexjet to offer complimentary helicopter transfers to Signature Suite guests across all four of its London hotels, following the service’s successful launch at The Emory in 2024.
Guests arriving by private jet at Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton or Stansted airports will be transferred directly to a Flexjet Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, flying to the London Heliport in Battersea before a chauffeured drive to their chosen hotel – Claridge’s, The Connaught, The Berkeley or The Emory.
Maybourne hotels said the transfer saves guests more than an hour compared to travelling by road.
The helicopter partnership first launched with The Emory, London’s first all-suite hotel, and its popularity prompted the rollout across the wider Maybourne portfolio.
“Following its success at The Emory, we are delighted to build upon our partnership with Flexjet to offer our Signature Suite guests the ultimate transfer in the capital. Our guests value time, privacy and precision. Through our collaboration with Flexjet, we offer a journey that is as considered and seamless as the rest of their stay in our hotels,” said Marc Socker, CEO of Maybourne.
“Maybourne is the preferred London home from home for so many Flexjet clients and our longstanding partnership is based on a mutual commitment to hospitality at the highest levels. We are now happy to be able to work together to welcome more of Maybourne’s wider VIP hotel guests when they fly into London,” said Mike Silvestro, CEO of Flexjet.
The Sikorsky S-76 seats up to eight passengers and features Flexjet’s LXi Cabin Collection interiors. The one-way service is available with 72 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Guests using the transfer can also access preferential rates for additional Flexjet helicopter trips during their stay.
The expanded helicopter arrangement builds on an existing five-year partnership between the two companies offering exclusive benefits to Flexjet customers at selected Maybourne properties.
