The Penzance - St Mary's route has been operated by helicopter since 1964 and has achieved the distinction of becoming the world's longest running scheduled helicopter service. The Tresco service was inaugurated in 1983 and therefore 2004 marks two major milestones in the history of the company.

We are the only air operator to fly direct to both Islands, Tresco and St Mary's. The journey from Penzance takes only 20 minutes.

This service flies daily (except Sundays) to St Mary's and Tresco and offers fast efficient flights throughout the year.

The aircraft, two Sikorsky S61 helicopters, allow the passengers stunning views of the West Penwith Peninsular and western approaches whilst transporting them in comfort to their archipelago destination. There is a friendly cabin attendant on each flight; who will answer any questions you might have on your 20 - minute journey.

The cabin of the S61 helicopter is spacious with large windows at each passenger seat row. There are single seats on the left of the cabin aisle, with double seats on the right. Everyone gets a great view on the 20 - minute ride to the Islands.
