Aircraft

Flying Pictures have long standing relationships with helicopter companies in the UK and worldwide; we can ensure that the most appropriate aircraft is sourced as locally to the shoot as possible.

Often we’ll have access to preferential rates, but in any event we negotiate the best deals to keep client costs down.
