British International Helicopters destination on the small island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly. Situated west of the ornamental lake in the large and picturesque grounds of Tresco Estate. A 362m grass runway accepts S-61N flights from Penzance (Cornwall) and St Marys (Isles of Scilly). Unique tractor-bus to take visitors from the aspirationally named Terminal One to their holiday destinations. This is a great place.
As of November 2012, British International Helicopters stopped running flights to Tresco. The heliport is still now closed, but the buildings and airfield remain as they were.
