'Junior Aviator' Flying Lessons Nationwide

What Can I Expect

Young aviators - these junior flying lessons are just for you! Get your wings from as young as eight years old on these first flight experiences specifically for youngsters and teens.

Our vouchers give budding young pilots a 30-minute flying lesson in a two-seater aircraft, with a range of departure airfields and aerodromes around the UK, so there’s bound to be a location near you offering these fantastic experiences for under 18s.

Each flight will be treated as a first lesson, which is what makes it all so exciting for the young would-be pilots. They will be co-pilot for the flight, with an expert instructor pilot taking them up.

At some point during the flight, the pilot will hand over the controls to the junior aviator. This is the moment the kids absolutely love. They will actually be flying the plane, which is totally awesome.

And as proud parents and family, you’ll be welcome to be at the clubhouse or flying school to watch the action from taxiing and take off, to when they step out of the cockpit at the end of their epic trial flight - and of course, you are welcome to take pictures!

Hands down one of the best possible gifts ever for any child from the age of eight years old who wants to experience a flight in a light aircraft, these junior flying lessons are great presents to celebrate any occasion.
