Overview
Why buy from us?
Experience open or closed-cockpit gyrocopter flights over Manchester! Departing from City Airport, located near the Trafford Centre, you'll enjoy breathtaking aerial views of landmarks across Manchester and Salford. It's important to note that City Airport is not the same as Manchester International Airport, which is situated to the south of the city. Instead, City Airport is located to the west of Salford and was formerly known as Barton Aerodrome. The airport itself is a tourist attraction, boasting a variety of aircraft to observe, numerous family-friendly events throughout the year, and a charming café called The Departure Lounge, as well as the Sopwith Bar and Grill. The enclosed Magni M24 Orion gyro is an attractive side-by-side configuration with dual control, allowing you to see everything your pilot is doing. If you're new to piloting a gyrocopter, the 30-minute experience is a perfect introduction. You'll have the opportunity to see the city of Manchester and its recognisable landmarks from the sky.

An amazing experience. After a pre flight briefing, from Dave, the pilot, who fully explained the workings of the gyro copter, I was kitted out with flight suit and helmet, before taking to the skies. Once in the air I was invited to take control of the stick, what a buzzI want to do it again
