AAG director sales and business development Sean Redfern and LBH business development director Robert Walters are establishing closer links between the US and UK with the New York Heli Shuttle

AAG and LBH do New York shuttle

US-based Sikorsky S-76 helicopter operator Associated Aircraft Group (AAG) is to launch a six-minute New York Heli Shuttle from Teterboro airport to Manhattan’s East 34th Street heliport. Teterboro is sister airport to London Biggin Hill airport (LBH), which has been hosting its own Castle Air-operated London shuttle into the London Heliport in Battersea since the end of 2014.

AAG general manager John Gow says: “We have seen how successful the London Heli Shuttle has been for London Biggin Hill and we are excited to be bringing this option to New York through Teterboro airport, giving passengers the fastest route between the two cities.”

LBH business development director Robert Walters adds: “The London Heli Shuttle has been a game-changer at our airport, allowing passengers a quick, six-minute transfer to the city centre. With Teterboro the same time by helicopter to New York City, it is fantastic to be able to mirror this service with AAG in the US and form an effective ‘air bridge’ between the two cities.”
