Glasgow City Heliport (ICAO: EGEG) is a heliport located in Glasgow, Scotland. The Heliport is located at Linthouse Road in Govan, close to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

The heliport is owned and operated by Babcock Mission Critical Services Onshore Ltd.[1] and is the operating base for the Police Service of Scotland air support unit. This unit is operated by Babcock MCSO under contract. The heliport can also handle an amount of passenger traffic. The ground facilities consist of a maintenance hangar building and parking for 6 small to medium-sized helicopters.

Aircraft permanently operating from Glasgow City Heliport are:

  • Police 51 – Police Scotland Air Support Unit – (Eurocopter EC-135). The callsign Sierra-Papa-99 has been retired following the 2013 Glasgow helicopter crash.

Historically a Scottish Ambulance Service aircraft (Airbus H145) was based on site, until the contract was in-housed away from Babcock by Gama Aviation[2] and moved to Glasgow Airport. Glasgow City Heliport still provides support to HEMS acting as a refuel site and forward operating base for Scotlands Charity Air Ambulance (Eurocopter EC135) based at Perth Airport.
