Anniversary target: PremiAir, which has expanded its managed fleet to 17 helicopters, is undertaking a major redevelopment of the London Heliport at Battersea which it manages and operates.

The official inauguration is planned for the spring of 2009 to coincide with the heliport's 50th anniversary. The latest helicopter to join the fleet is an EC155, chosen says bdm David Langton, because of its fast cruise speed of 275km/hr, 810km range, and "capacity to seat up to six people in wide-body comfort."
