Reveal your baby’s gender in spectacular style with a breathtaking helicopter gender reveal flight from EBG Helicopters. Based at Redhill Aerodrome, we create unforgettable aerial announcements for families across London and the South East of England, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime moment you’ll cherish forever.
At EBG Helicopters we believe a gender reveal should be more than just a moment, it should be an experience. Here’s what makes our helicopter gender reveals unique:
Spectacular & memorable: A dramatic aerial reveal that turns a simple announcement into a celebration with wow-factor.
Full South East coverage: Whether you’re in London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex or surrounding counties, our convenient base at Redhill Aerodrome means we’re within reach.
Certified & safe: Flights operate under our official Special Operations (SPO) certification, ensuring safety and professionalism at every step.
Tailored to your vision: From smoke-colour reveals to timing the descent for maximum impact, we customise every flight to match your style and preferences.
Creating an unforgettable helicopter gender reveal requires careful planning, aviation expertise, and the right permissions. At EBG Helicopters, we manage the entire process for you from start to finish.
Contact our team with your preferred date, location, and reveal idea. We’ll discuss the type of reveal you want — including coloured smoke, flight routes, scenic locations, or flyovers above your celebration venue.
We’ll also check aircraft availability, suitable timings, and any logistical requirements.
Before confirming your booking, we assess the proposed reveal location to ensure it is safe, legally suitable, and practical for helicopter operations.
This includes:
Evaluating landing or hovering possibilities
Checking distances from built-up areas
Confirming safe spectator positions
Ensuring we can achieve the visibility you want for your reveal
Most helicopter gender reveals require additional approvals, especially when using coloured smoke.
EBG Helicopters handles this process for you, including:
Applying for CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) permission
Submitting details of the reveal (location, timing, smoke usage)
Coordinating with local air traffic services
Ensuring full compliance with SPO (Special Operations) regulations
If coloured smoke is being released, CAA approval is always required, and we manage this request on your behalf. Permissions typically require adequate notice, so early booking is strongly recommended.
Once permissions are secured, we confirm your flight and schedule the reveal.
On arrival at Redhill Aerodrome, our team will brief you on the flight plan, safety procedures, and exactly how the reveal moment will unfold. Your pilot will ensure the timing and location are perfect for your family and photographers.
Whether you choose a family gathering site, private venue, or scenic location, your helicopter reveal will be executed with precision. At the agreed moment, we release pink or blue smoke or conduct your chosen reveal method as loved ones watch from below.
It’s the picture-perfect moment every family remembers.
After the reveal, enjoy a relaxed scenic flight (if included), return to Redhill Aerodrome, and celebrate your incredible moment. Many families bring professional photographers or videographers — and this type of reveal makes for stunning imagery.

Your safety and that of your loved ones is our top priority. All our gender reveal flights operate under official SPO (Special Operations) certification, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations. Our experienced pilots and crew follow strict safety protocols, and we always check landing permissions, weather conditions and flight logistics in advance.
Can we choose the smoke colour?
Yes — you can choose either pink or blue (or another custom colour) for your reveal smoke.
Is the smoke safe?
Yes, we use biodegradable and safe powder for our smoke that usually disperses before it makes it to the ground, but in rare cases where it doesn’t, the powder is easily washed away with water (rain).
Where can we do the reveal?
We fly across the South East from Redhill Aerodrome. We can hover or land at approved sites, or simply perform a flyover for safety and convenience.
Is it safe for children and pregnant mums?
Yes. As an SPO-certified operator, we adhere to strict safety standards. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends, summer months, or date-specific events, to allow time for permissions (we suggest allowing a week just for this). Weather considerations also need to be taken into account.
