Pleasure flights & tours
Take to the skies and experience the thrill of a lifetime with East Midlands Helicopters’ exclusive pleasure flights. Departing from our Costock base, our Bell JetRanger fleet offers you the chance to soar above the rolling Leicestershire countryside and beyond. Whether it’s a 20‑, 30‑ or 60‑minute tour or if you have a bespoke requirement, you’ll enjoy the freedom of your own helicopter — just you and up to three guests — for a journey that’s as unique as it is unforgettable.
Unforgettable Experience
Nothing compares to viewing the world from above. From the moment the rotor blades spin to the gentle landing, you’ll feel the excitement of flight combined with sweeping panoramas — perhaps across Rutland Water, Melton Mowbray or Oakham.
Full Private Flight for Up to Four
Our tours give you the entire aircraft to yourselves — no shared seats, no strangers. With private access (up to four people), you choose your party and simply enjoy the ride.
Flexible Options & Easy Booking
We offer straightforward voucher booking — purchase now, redeem later — and choose your flight time when you’re ready. Our 20‑, 30‑ and 60‑minute options give you the flexibility to match the occasion and your schedule.
Lunch Tours
For a truly memorable experience, combine a scenic helicopter tour with an elegant lunch. Departing from Costock, you and up to three guests will fly over Melton Mowbray, Oakham and Rutland Water before landing at the prestigious Barnsdale Lodge.
Enjoy lunch in refined surroundings, then return by private helicopter.
