British International Helicopters

Penzance and Isles of Scilly

Not only do BIH supply very accurate weather information but the number of flights they run daily can be an indication of how busy Cornwall is.

Truly a lifeline to the isles of Scilly because they can fly when sea conditions are too rough for crossings and winds too strong for fixed wing aircraft.

British International operates the only two-destination air service to the fabulous Isles of Scilly. This service, the longest running scheduled helicopter service in the world, flies daily (except Sundays) to St Mary's and Tresco and offers fast efficient flights throughout the year. The aircraft, two Sikorsky S61-N helicopters, allow the passenger stunning views of the west Penwith peninsular and western approaches whilst transporting them in comfort to their archipelago destination. British International offers a range of flight packages to suit all, including organised parties. Tel: 01736 364296
