Air Cornwall

We’re a young-at-heart aviation company based at Land’s End Airport, perched on the stunning cliffs of West Cornwall, with a satellite base at Henstridge Airfield, Somerset.

Our main airfield is just 7 miles west of Penzance — around a 15-minute drive.

What We Offer

✈️ Air Experience Flights
🎁 Gift Vouchers
👨‍✈️ Fixed-Wing Pilot Training (NPPL(M) Standard)

All training is provided by a CAA-qualified Flight Instructor in our modern, factory-built Ikarus C42.

We can also train you in your own aircraft for the full NPPL(M) course.

I had an amazing flight over West Cornwall with Gary last week.

His aircraft is seriously impressive — modern, comfortable, and a pleasure to fly. Gary handed over the controls almost straight away, and by the end of the flight I felt completely at ease and absolutely blown away by the incredible views across Cornwall. I’d highly recommend Air Cornwall to both first-time flyers and experienced pilots alike. Jon M

About the NPPL(M) Licence

The NPPL(M) licence allows you to fly as Pilot in Command on Light Sport Microlights up to 600 kg maximum take-off weight.

These aircraft are:

  • Economical, with low running costs
  • Slow-stalling and easy to handle
  • Capable of short take-off and landing distances

Some higher-end microlights can cruise at 200 knots+, using just 30 litres per hour of unleaded fuel — straight from the forecourt!

Helicopter Operations

We also provide:

  • Helicopter charter and coastal tours in our 5-seater Bell 206 Jetranger or Hughes MD 500
  • Confidence-building sessions for qualified pilots (in your aircraft or ours)
  • Ferry and delivery assistance, helping you collect or deliver aircraft with an experienced pilot on board

We are qualified and experienced in operating:

  • Fixed-wing microlights
  • Fixed-wing light aircraft
  • Piston and turbine-powered helicopters
