Global Charter

“Highclere clients can enjoy experiences few ever see first hand – from private visits to racing stables, studs and the Newmarket gallops - to exclusive picnics in the owners’ car park at Royal Ascot. Global Charter ensures these experiences are effortless to reach, arranging private jets and helicopter transfers that let guests travel in comfort and discretion, so the focus remains on the sport and the exceptional hospitality Highclere provides.”

For many racing enthusiasts, the sport’s most prestigious occasions are spread across the globe. From the pageantry of Royal Ascot to the thrill of the Kentucky Derby, the international racing calendar offers remarkable experiences for those who enjoy following the sport at its very highest level. Our friends at Global Charter specialise in arranging private jets and helicopter transfers, giving clients the freedom to travel on their own schedule, in complete comfort and privacy, so they can focus on the sport rather than the logistics.

Private aviation offers an unparalleled advantage when attending high-profile meetings. Smaller regional airports bring guests closer to the action, while helicopter transfers from central London are increasingly popular: Ascot can be reached in roughly 20 minutes from Battersea Heliport, Cheltenham in around 40 minutes. One route Global Charter regularly sees clients flying is from Dublin’s Weston Airport to Gloucestershire Airport, just six miles from Cheltenham, on a Pilatus PC-12 – a swift and discreet way to arrive in style and maximise time at the festival.

For those following the sport internationally, private aviation makes it possible to attend multiple major events across a season. A single itinerary might include the Kentucky Derby in the United States, the Dubai World Cup, the European summer season at Royal Ascot, and other iconic meetings. Each journey is meticulously tailored, from aircraft selection to departure times, ensuring flexibility around race schedules, hospitality commitments, and private entertaining.

Our owners can enjoy experiences few ever see firsthand – from private visits to the Stud and the Newmarket gallops to exclusive picnics in the owners’ car park at Royal Ascot. Global Charter ensures these experiences are effortless to reach, arranging private jets and helicopter transfers that let guests travel in comfort and discretion, so the focus remains on the sport and the exceptional hospitality Highclere provides.
