Aerobility are pleased to welcome newest volunteer Alan Fisher, FRAeS to the team. Alan Fisher is the CEO of Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC). Through his expertise and experience, Alan is going to help us reach far and wide in the aerospace, defence, and space industry. “Ever since FAC adopted Aerobility as our main organisation to sponsor I have been amazed at the fantastic work they do amongst the disabled community.

Aviation experiences for disabled and profoundly ill people, turning the dream of flying into an exhilarating reality!
About us
Aerobility enables disabled people of all ages to turn the dream of flight into an exhilarating and fulfilling reality. Our ethos of full inclusivity means we support people across the entire spectrum of disability, without exception – we know flying can provide a level of challenge and exhilaration difficult to find elsewhere.
We also provide opportunities for disabled people to enjoy a wide range of aviation activities, from ground-based experience days, through to one-on-one training and instruction to secure a Private Pilot’s Licence.
We own five specially-adapted aircraft and bespoke hoisting equipment, enabling us to make flight both accessible and safe. Our specially-trained flying instructors have built up a comprehensive knowledge on the challenges connecting disability and aviation, which is invaluable in the removing of barriers to participation.
In 2016 we supported and provided services to almost 900 disabled people aged 7 to 92 – whatever the impairment, Aerobility have always found a way to get a someone into the pilot seat.
Through our partnership with Help for Heroes, around a third of our beneficiaries are wounded, injured or sick (WIS) military personnel. Many cite flying with Aerobility not only as a turning point in their recovery, but also as an integral part of their rehabilitation.
The positive impacts of engaging with Aerobility include:
- Increased self-confidence, self-belief and independence.
- Increased employability and improvements in academic studies.
- Inspiring and empowering individuals to break through boundaries in all aspects of their lives.
- Enhancements to well-being and social cohesion.
- Positive change in an individuals’ long terms outlook on their disability.
- Reduction in clinical episodes.
- Personal accomplishment and pride.
- The chance to do something amazing and experience a level of challenge, exhilaration and joy that it is difficult to find anywhere else!
