About Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot is the jewel of the British flat racing season, attended by the Royal Family in a tradition spanning over 300 years. The five-day meeting at Ascot Racecourse combines Group 1 racing with unparalleled pageantry, from the Royal Procession to the strict dress code of the Royal Enclosure.
It is the social event of the British summer, drawing aristocracy, global business leaders, and fashion icons who arrive by private jet and helicopter. The on-site helipad at Ascot Racecourse handles a continuous flow of VIP arrivals throughout the meeting, particularly on Ladies’ Day and Gold Cup Day.
For European clients, light and midsize jets handle the route in under 90 minutes. From the US and Middle East, heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft are the standard. The combination of jet to Farnborough or Heathrow plus helicopter direct to the racecourse is the gold standard arrival pattern.
