Special helicopter flight event for children from Sydvestjysk Sygehus

September 4, 2024

This past Saturday, we had the honour of welcoming 64 courageous children from Sydvestjysk Sygehus in Esbjerg for a very special scenic helicopter flight event. Each child, joined by a family member or friend, had the chance to soar above Esbjerg in one of our AW189 helicopters—an experience filled with excitement and wonder.

The day began with a warm welcome at our facilities, where the children were introduced to the story of Bel Air, given a tour, and received a thorough safety briefing to ensure everyone felt comfortable and ready for their flight.

After their unforgettable experience in the skies, the celebration continued on the ground with post-flight festivities. Each child received a diploma and a goodie bag, while everyone enjoyed delicious snacks and refreshing slush-ice.

The joy and smiles we witnessed throughout the day made this event incredibly meaningful for all of us. It was a day filled with hope, laughter, and lasting memories—one we hope to repeat again next summer.

A heartfelt thank you to the generous sponsors and volunteers who helped make this day possible:

  • Meny Hjerting for providing tasty food and drinks
  • Tinghøj Service Udlejning for tables, chairs, and the slush-ice machine
  • Esbjerg Airport for hosting the event and supporting every detail
  • And our amazing Bel Air team, who gave their time and energy to create a memorable day

Thank you all for helping bring joy to these incredible children and their families.
