Flexjet has extended its existing five year partnership with luxury hotel operator The Maybourne Group to include London's first all-suite hotel, The Emory, which opened in May heralding a new standard of design and discreet luxury. This bespoke collaboration with Flexjet is the very first of its kind for a London hotel, with complimentary helicopter arrival transfers from the capital's private jet terminals built into the suite experience. Guests of The Emory arriving into London via private jet at Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton or Stansted airports, will be whisked by Flexjet helicopter directly to The London Heliport at Battersea, where they will be collected by The Emory house car and taken straight to the hotel.

Co-CEO Mike Silvestro says: “We are delighted to be working with The Emory to offer this unique advantage to its guests, enhancing what is already one of London's most exceptional hotel experiences. Our collaboration provides not only seamless, door-to-door transport for private travellers staying at The Emory, saving over an hour of driving time, but also a memorable arrival over the London skyline.”

Maybourne Group COO Roland Fasel adds: “At The Emory, we are always striving to see how we can set new standards in service style, and this collaboration with Flexjet allows our guests the ultimate transfer in the capital.”

The Flexjet helicopter fleet features the Sikorsky S-76, fitted out with a seating configuration for up to eight passengers plus two pilots. It can fly at 155 knots per hour with a range of 300nm.

The inclusive helicopter transfer to The Emory is available with 72 hours' notice, and subject to availability on selected peak days. Guests using the service can also access preferential rates for further Flexjet helicopter transfers during their stay.
