Multi-million pound expansion at Elstree Aerodrome opens to the public

ICE Helicopters, which is based at Elstree Aerodrome in Hogg Lane, officially opened its larger space at the site to the public as it continues to ramp up helicopter flight training.

The upgraded and larger space features a 9,000 square foot building that includes several offices, meeting rooms and fixed base operator facilities.

This will allow aerodrome users to utilise meeting rooms, have refreshments and watch aircraft from a viewing platform looking out over the airfield.
