Why Hire from AeroSchool?

AeroSchool offers a comprehensive and flexible aircraft hire service, designed to cater to pilots at all stages of their flying journey. Here’s why hiring from AeroSchool stands out:

Diverse, Well-Maintained Fleet: We own our fleet outright, meaning you have access to a wide range of aircraft including the Cessna 150/152, Cessna 172, Piper PA28 Warrior, and Aquila A211. Every aircraft is meticulously maintained under CAMO agreements with Dukeries Aviation, ensuring high safety and operational standards.
Flexible Booking: Our online booking system offers instant booking confirmation, allowing for same-day bookings. This means you can fly when the weather is perfect and your schedule allows.
Fleet Rotation and Availability: With a large fleet spread across multiple bases—Breighton, Teesside, and Humberside—we can rotate aircraft to match demand. This helps reduce the risk of cancellations due to technical issues, as we often have spare aircraft available.
Cross-Bases Experience: Hire from one base and enjoy the flexibility to fly between our locations, gaining valuable experience across uncontrolled airfields like Breighton and controlled environments at Teesside and Humberside. This allows you to practice in a variety of real-world conditions. All landing fees, fuel etc at our base airports is handled through the AeroSchool system. Additionally, you can hire from any of our locations, with club currency being companywide.
Competitive Hire Rates: Our rates are competitive, with hourly prices charged per minute based on actual flight timings. You only pay for what you use—calculated from block hours (movement off stand to parking back on stand), making it fair and cost-effective. Benefit from our landing agreements in place at our base airports to receive discounted landing and approach fees, billed via the AeroSchool system. See our pricelist

Requirements for Hiring

Pilot License & medical: A valid license & medical appropriate for the type of aircraft you wish to hire and flight you wish to carry out.
BREIGHTON ONLY - All hirers must be members of The Real Aeroplane Club if hiring from our Breighton location, which comes with additional perks such as event access and café discounts. The fee of £120 is paid annually, direct to the Real Aeroplane Club - see more details.
TEESSIDE ONLY - All regular hirers at Teesside Airport must hold valid airside passes. Forms for an airside pass can be collected from the Teesside office with payments to be made direct to the Teesside Airport pass office. The cost is £60 per year (or £144 for 3 years). The pass allows pilots to escort visitors airside following collecting a visitors pass from the AeroSchool office.
Currency Requirements: To ensure safe operation, you must meet club currency requirements, which means having flown the relevant aircraft type within the last 60 days. This currency is valid across all of our bases, giving you the flexibility to hire from any location.

How to Book Your Aircraft

Booking your aircraft is simple. Following initial currency check, you will be given access to our online portal. Use our online portal to check availability and reserve your preferred aircraft. With instant booking confirmation, you can book and fly on the same day if desired. All aircraft documents are available for you to check in advance of your trip and carry out the necessary planning. If you need assistance, our friendly operations team is available to help 7 days per week.

For new hirers, we will schedule a short check flight with one of our instructors to confirm familiarity with the aircraft and procedures, ensuring your safety and comfort.
