Air Harrods Limited is the aircraft charter brokering arm of the Harrods company based at London Stansted Airport.[1]
Customers vary immensely; news footage has shown Tony Blair travelling to the G8 summit on board an Air Harrods helicopter which was commissioned by MI5 to offset security concerns.[2] The use of one Air Harrods helicopter was donated for a special of Challenge Anneka in 2007. The helicopter was used to transport some ill children to a choir performance.
On 7 May 2010, Air Harrods was sold as part of its parent group to a Qatari sovereign investment group in a combined deal worth £1.5bn.[3]
