Helicopter charter rates in Scotland??

[CLmaximum]

Can somebody please advise.

I am offshore UAE so cannot phone around to check

My rich brother is getting married next year (april 27) and he wants to impress the new wife by leaving the reception around 2330 in a helo and take her to Cameron House near Loch Lomond.

As best man I have been tasked with finding out if this is possible?

The Hotel is set in about 40 acres of land near East Kilbride.

The only company I know around Glasgow are Clyde helicopters.

Can anybody advise:

1. if this would be possible?
2. an email for clyde helicopters?
3. any other operators in the area?
4. likely charter rates for what will be probably a 25 minute flight?

cheers

It would have to be a twin - I'd recommend PDG because they have one based quite close to Glasgow. You can expect an hourly rate of £750-£800 and I doubt they would do it for less than 1 hr minimum plus probably the cost of recce of the site. 40 acres sounds OK, so I'm sure its possible.
