Do you take off from the Heli-pad near crown?

Our helicopter services are primarily based in Essendon Airport, which is a short 15 minute trip by taxi or uber from the city. We do not depart from the City Helipad near Crown Casino because, quite frankly, you get a much better view of the city flying from Essendon.

We can arrange private charter pick-ups from any other location of your choice.
