Helicopter Charter to Goodwood Festival of Speed & Revival

6 October 2026

Few events capture the spirit of British motoring like Goodwood. From the roar of the Festival of Speed to the vintage glamour of the Revival, the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex draws enthusiasts and guests from across the country. Arriving by helicopter helps you bypass the traffic and reach the event efficiently. Here’s our insider’s guide to flying to Goodwood with Saxon Air.

Why Fly to Goodwood by Helicopter?

Goodwood is one of the highlights of the summer season, and with big crowds come long queues on the surrounding roads. A helicopter charter lets you skip the congestion entirely, travelling in comfort and arriving relaxed and on time. With our bases at Denham and Redhill offering convenient departure points across London and the South East, the journey to Goodwood takes a fraction of the time it would by road.

  • Avoid the traffic and car parks that surround major event days
  • Arrive refreshed, on schedule and ready to enjoy the occasion
  • Travel privately with your group on an aircraft chosen to suit you
  • Make a memorable entrance to one of the season’s standout events

Goodwood Festival of Speed vs Revival: What to Expect

Goodwood hosts two flagship motoring events each year, and they have distinct characters worth knowing before you plan your trip.

Festival of Speed (July), a celebration of speed and innovation, with the famous hillclimb, cutting-edge supercars, motorsport legends and family-friendly displays. It’s energetic, forward-looking and unmissable for anyone who loves cars.

Revival (September), a glorious step back in time, where guests dress in period style and historic racing takes centre stage. It’s elegant, nostalgic and one of the most atmospheric events in the calendar.

Whichever you choose, a helicopter charter complements the occasion perfectly, adding a sense of ease and exclusivity from the moment you set off.
