When a rockslide blocked road access to their airport in the French Alps, we were tasked with getting a couple back to London at short notice.
Getting our client to a blocked airport
One of our clients got in touch after becoming stranded in the French Alps. They’d been due to fly to London following a ski break in Courchevel, but had missed their flight when a rockslide in the mountains blocked road access to the airport. With no time to waste, our experts set about finding a solution to get them on the move.
Our Solution
Route: Courchevel > Nice > London
Aircraft: Eurocopter AS355 Écureuil 2 / Pilatus PC-24
Our team found a solution within just 10 minutes, arranging a point-to-point helicopter transfer to whisk the couple straight from the mountain resort to Nice.
As their scheduled flight from Nice to London had already departed, a private jet charter was the only way of getting the couple there in time. Reaching out to local operators, we quickly sourced a Pilatus PC-24, ensuring they arrived promptly with no delay to their plans.
