Introduction

Aerobility is a UK based, registered charity. Founded in 1993, we change lives by providing anyone, with any disability with access to the magic and wonder of flight.  

We do this because taking the controls of an aircraft drives a focus on capability and encourages our flyers to ask the question ‘If I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?’  

This makes everything else in life feel that little bit more achievable, whilst offering the ultimate feeling of freedom and escape from restrictions of disability. 

Aerobility represents the needs of those living with disability in to aviation and is recognised as the leading expert in disabled flying. 

From humble beginnings back in 1993 to our current fleet of 4 aircraft with a head office at Blackbushe and operations from Tatenhill as well, we support nearly 1,000 disabled people per year with access to the magic and wonder of flight.

For some, just that amazing first flight is enough to change their outlook on disability forever.

"If I can fly an aeroplane,
what else can I do?" 

Others, realising that the fantasy of flight is truly in their grasp, decide to continue flying, with some securing their Private Pilot Licence and other even looking toward commercial aviation.

Aerobility provides once in a life-time 'Experience Flights’ to as many terminally ill and disabled people as possible as well as subsidised flying for individuals and other disability charities.

 

A user lead organisation, Aerobility is run largely by disabled aviators, for disabled people. Through various fundraising initiatives and careful management strategies we allow disabled people to fly for a fraction of the commercial rate.

Aerobility also provides advice, knowledge and advocacy for disabled people who wish to fly, and is the representative body for disabled aviation within the UK.
