Yorkshire, UK-based Multiflight has expanded its helicopter charter fleet with a VIP Airbus H155 in order to meet increasing ad hoc demand. The latest rotorcraft joins an existing fleet that includes two eight-seat AS365 Dauphins.

"The VIP Airbus H155 is a fabulous new addition to the Multiflight charter fleet, offering increased performance, comfort, space, range, exceptional ride quality and speed," says MD Steve Borrowdale.

"We have seen a significant increase in demand for our charter services and this helicopter with its impressive performance will provide extra capacity for our current and new clients. It's a natural progression for our Airbus 365 fleet."

The H155 can seat up to eight passengers and has satellite telephone and sizeable baggage capacity. It can reach speeds of at least 165mph and has a range of more than 400 miles.

Borrowdale continues: "The ease and flexibility of helicopter travel is appealing to more and more people. For anyone wanting to make the most of their time, avoiding the stress of airport queues and the ever-increasing delays on the road and rail system, private aircraft charter is becoming the way to travel."
