NewFlight simulator
Fly in any weather, from £50 an hour

Pilots can keep their instrument flying sharp whatever the Guernsey weather is doing. Everyone else can find out what it is really like to fly. Young aviators aged 12 to 16 start with two hours free.
The club
A clubhouse overlooking the runway
Founded in 1934 and re-formed in 1966 with one aim: to foster an interest in aviation.
Our clubhouse sits just south of the main terminal at Guernsey Airport, looking straight out over the runway, with our own hangar and apron alongside. Members come for the flying events, the lectures, the newsletter and the company, and the clubhouse can be hired for private events.
Learn to fly
Your first lesson starts here
Guernsey Flying Training is based in our clubhouse.
Its instructors teach from the club’s own apron, a few steps from the runway. If you have ever thought about learning to fly, this is where to begin. Not ready for the real thing yet? Start in the simulator.
