Cotswold Aviation are proud to offer our Midlands based aircraft on a dry hire basis. We currently have two Cirrus SR22T four seater fixed wing aircraft and a Bell 505 Jet Ranger X rotary. The SR22T is an extremely fast and capable aircraft which was recently described as a ‘mini airliner,’ and will enable the user to enjoy the convenience of private, tailor made travel from our home airfield in Gloucestershire to almost anywhere in Europe. The Cirrus SR22T comfortably seats 4 persons with luggage. N644MW is a late 2016 G5 and N464MW a brand new 2022 G6 model.
For UK mainland, or those journeys where you need to get as close to your chosen destination as possible, you may want to consider our Bell 505 Jet Ranger X, G-NADE. The Bell 505 is an American/Canadian light helicopter developed by Bell Textron Canada. It can hold one pilot and four passengers, and has a maximum cruise speed of 125kts and range of 306nm.
G-NADE is brand new as of August 2022, and the 400th Jet Ranger X built by Bell worldwide.
Location
The Cirrus are currently based at Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ) and the Bell 505 at Wellesbourne (EGBW) but all can be positioned to any suitable airfield in the UK if required.
