About the experience

Experience exhilarating flying lessons at Teesside Airport, also known as Durham Tees Valley Airport, located between Darlington and Middlesbrough. We offer 60-minute trial flights in a four-seater light aircraft, with each lesson tailored to your needs. Our fleet includes Cessna and Piper planes, all operating from a fully functional commercial airport. As you fly in controlled airspace, you'll share the skies with turboprop planes and airliners, adding to the excitement of your experience. Your instructor will handle the takeoff, and once you’re flying straight and level, it will be your turn to take control (the aircraft is dual-controlled for your safety!). In the four-seater option, you have the opportunity to invite a guest to observe your flight, subject to pilot approval and weight restrictions. The stunning views over the Tees Valley coast and the North Yorkshire Moors will make your flying lesson truly memorable!
