When the helicopter service to the Isles of Scilly ceased in Oct 2012, an alternate link was sought. In 2017 the Company, which also owns and operates the
Scillonian III ferry link to the islands announced its intention to start the
Island Helicopters service from
St Just, using the
AW169. The site is near the cliffs of the western Penwith peninsula, some 5nm from Penzance railway station. It plans to operate services to
St Marys (and possibly
Tresco), in competition with the service announced by
Penzance Heliport Ltd. The
Island Helicopters service is due to commence in May 2018.
