Bodmin Airfield

'I suspect the thing that makes us fly, whatever it is, is the same thing that draws the sailor to the sea.... Some people will never understand why and we can't explain it to them. If they're willing and have an open heart we can show them, but tell them we can't.'
Richard Bach, A Gift of Wings

> Introductory / Trial Lessons / Gift Vouchers

Let us take you and show you why we fly! Introductory lessons are available for half an hour or an hour. In addition to this flying time you will receive pre- and post-flight instruction, as well as having your questions answered about progressing to the next step. If you would like to give someone the 'gift of wings' then vouchers for introductory lessons are available.

For information on Trial Flying Lessons and Gift Vouchers please call the club on 01208 821419. We will be able to discuss your exact requirements and arrange for the information to be sent to you.

At Bodmin, we are able to offer courses for the Private Pilots Licence (JAR-PPL/NPPL) which are tailored to meet your requirements. Whether you wish to complete the course in a month, or spread your training over a year we will go as far as we can to accommodate your requirements. Contact the one of our Flying Instructors to find out what is involved in getting your wings.

> IMC

We are also able to offer training and examination for the Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) rating, utilising the extensive instrument facilities available at RAF St. Mawgan.

Welcome to Newquay Airport, one of the fastest growing regional airports in the UK.

The only commercial airport serving Cornwall, Newquay now offers a real alternative to the long and frustrating journey by road and rail. If you are travelling into Cornwall, you’ll be impressed by the ease and economy of the new services from London Gatwick, Stansted, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Dublin, & now CARDIFF.

Local Cornish residents leaving the county can now get to central London within 2 ½ hours.

Air Southwest is Cornwall's own airline, offering four flights every day from Newquay to London Gatwick, plus frequent flights to Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Dublin, Bristol and (from April 2006) Cardiff.

The Airport is also the main hub for Skybus, the airline serving the beautiful Isles of Scilly. Most passengers flying out to the islands will either start their journey from here or pass through Newquay on the way.

Newquay is now regarded as the surf city of the UK. It has developed its own unique culture and offers an exciting and varied holiday stay, with it bars and fashionable restaurants as well as first class attractions around the county like the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum & the Tate at St. Ives.
