Helicopter Transfer Louisville to Lexington

The short flight from Louisville to Lexington covers only around 61 nautical miles across the rolling bluegrass country of central Kentucky, a distance perfectly suited to travel by helicopter. A refined machine such as the Airbus H130 is well matched to the route, carrying passengers over the horse farms, white fences and manicured pastures for which the region is famous. The flight takes only minutes, in place of a drive of well over an hour along Interstate 64, a welcome saving on the busy days that surround the region’s celebrated racing and equestrian events. Departures are arranged from Louisville International Airport, gateway to Kentucky’s largest city and home of the storied Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, where guests transfer directly to the aircraft and lift off over the Ohio River valley. Lexington, the destination, is the acknowledged horse capital of the world, set amid the thoroughbred farms of the bluegrass and home to the Keeneland racecourse and the Kentucky Horse Park. Its handsome downtown and university lend the city a lively cultural life alongside its equestrian heritage. This route suits owners and enthusiasts attending sales and races, business travellers with commitments in both cities, and event guests seeking to avoid the congestion that surrounds the region’s great sporting occasions. Arriving by helicopter offers both speed and a privileged view of the bluegrass landscape, delivering passengers to Lexington refreshed and ready for the day’s events. Owners, trainers and enthusiasts who follow the racing calendar across the bluegrass find that a private helicopter transfer keeps them ahead of the crowds and close to the action throughout the season, whatever the day may bring.
