To attract premium-class passengers, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will introduce a helicopter chauffeur service next month for its first class passengers flying from London Heathrow. Helicopter pick-ups can be made within a 60-mile (95km) radius of the airport. The service is free for passengers holding full-fare first class tickets for flights originating from Heathrow.
The airline also provides the helicopter service in Paris and Monaco. The initiative will be operated by Hertfordshire-based Cabair, using a five-seat Eurocopter AS355 Twin Squirrel. MAS is also launching a chauffeured parking service for first and business class passengers on flights from London and Manchester.
