Why Choose a Not For Profit

It may come as a surprise to learn that Bristol Flying is a Not For Profit (NFP) organisation. Essentially this means that our members fly our aircraft at cost price, a huge saving over commercial training organisations. Bristol Flying was set up as a community asset to support all those who want to enjoy aviation professionally and at a reasonable cost.

Advantages of a Not for Profit

Another advantage of being Not for Profit is that re-investment in the company is a high priority, along with providing it’s members with cost effective services when compared with commercial businesses. Our members enjoy some of the lowest Bristol flying lesson rates in the country. Not for Profit really does work and can save you many thousands of pounds a year.
