August 6, 2013

Building work has commenced on Helicentre Aviation's brand new 10,000 square foot facility and heliport following a culmination of negotiations to acquire the 2.5 acre site at Leicester Airport. The complex will provide the company with additional lecture rooms, briefing rooms, offices and hangarage to fulfill their operational requirements in professional helicopter pilot training, which has reached academy level.

Additionally the facility will incorporate its own vip entrance and parking, an apron and a new operational area. The company's utility and charter divisions will also be integrated into the new site.

Significant investment has been made in the development alongside plans to expand the training fleet over the next three years to include six Cabri G2 helicopters, the second of which arrived last week.

The new complex is scheduled to be operational by October this year and it is thought that the expansion will create up to 20 jobs for pilots and operational staff over the next three years.
