Saxon Air has solidified its position as the UK's largest onshore charter helicopter operator, following a significant expansion of its fleet. Since December 2025, the company has added five new helicopters, bringing its total to 12, with plans to introduce three more by April 2026. This growth underscores Saxon Air's commitment to providing premium helicopter charter and aircraft management services across the nation.
The latest addition to Saxon Air's fleet is a factory-new AgustaWestland AW109SP, reflecting the company's dedication to operating modern, twin-engine VIP aircraft. The fleet now includes models such as the Leonardo AW109S, AW109 Trekker, AW109SP, AW119Kx, and Airbus H125, making it one of the most versatile in the UK.
Saxon Air attributes its rapid expansion to long-term relationships and a reputation for delivering efficient and commercially intelligent solutions. The company's dual Air Operator Certificate (AOC) allows it to offer integrated access to both helicopter and jet charter markets, a unique advantage in the industry.
With helicopter bases strategically located in Denham, Elstree, Oxford, Redhill, and Norwich, Saxon Air ensures rapid response capabilities within 10 minutes of London. This infrastructure supports high-frequency charter clients and enhances service delivery.
Miles Riches, the newly appointed Head of Rotary Sales, expressed enthusiasm about the company's growth, stating, "Our rotary business is in the middle of a major phase of growth, with the fleet set to double from seven aircraft at the start of 2025 to 14 by March 2026."
Saxon Air's continued investment in infrastructure and next-generation aircraft positions it as a forward-thinking partner in the UK's onshore charter helicopter sector. As the company enters 2026, it remains a preferred choice for discerning owners and charter clients
