The UK disabled flying charity Aerobility is offering flying opportunities from the airport in Southwest England in partnership with Flynqy Pilot Training. Bookings are now available for the flights, which will take place on August 16-18, 2024.
Aerobility Chief Flying Instructor, Al Rosser, said: “This exciting new opportunity shows that the charity is serious about growing its national catchment areas and enables us to spread the magic and wonder of flight to new and remote areas of the UK.”
Rosser added: “We are thrilled to be expanding our offering to Cornwall, which could help more people living with disabilities to try something new and realise their true capabilities.”
Aerobility provides access to flying for people with disabilities at Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire and Tatenhill Airfield, Staffordshire. It is also working with the Lydd Aero Club in Kent.
Flynqy Pilot Training Operations Manager, Zara Dinnacombe, said: “Aerobility is an inspiring charity that enables people with physical or hidden disabilities to fly an aircraft. We’re very excited to be working with Aerobility and Cornwall Airport Newquay to bring these fantastic flight experiences to Cornwall and the southwest. We’d love to make this a more regular fixture, so we are working closely with the team to make this event a huge success.”
Dinnacombe added: “Disabled people that fly with us will get the same experience and support that they would get flying with the charity at Blackbushe, Tatenhill or Lydd as some of the charity’s experienced staff will be on hand throughout the weekend.”
