Penzance Heliport (IATA: PZE, ICAO: EGHK) is located 1.1 NM (2.0 km; 1.3 mi) northeast of Penzance, Cornwall. The heliport hosts scheduled flights to the Isles of Scilly, with a connection to the railway network at Penzance railway station by a special bus service.
Penzance Heliport has existed at two separate locations at different times. The newer heliport was built during 2018 and 2019 on the north side of Jelbert Way and the A30, and is the base for a helicopter service to the islands of Tresco and St Mary's.
The original heliport, on the south side of Jelbert Way and a few hundred meters closer to Penzance, was opened in 1964, and operated for 48 years before closing in 2012.
