Helinut, when I last checked, quite recently, it was a max of 2 helicopters per hour allowed to land at LHR, handy if you've got a multi helicopter task!

Does anyone think the idea would ever be entertained to have a small plot of land at LHR to be dedicated to heli-ops that could be run by a private entity, obviously with the aircraft under ATC control, and paying for slots/landing fees, but that keeps helicopters clear of the planks, allows for easy arrivals/departures for the helicopters (from/to the south?) and more than 2 per hour and it would appear most importantly lands the pax at LHR so they can be picked up swiftly by one of the handling agents and whisked to their desired terminal?

Or has this all been discussed to death with the relevant authorities already
