Experience to launch in June 2026
Spitfire passenger flights are to be on offer from Ronaldsway Airport starting in June 2026.
The experience, from flyaspitfire.com allows enthusiasts to take to the skies in one of the most iconic aircraft of World War II.
Each outing will include a full safety briefing, a chance to get up close with the aircraft, and a flight over the Island’s landscapes.
Chief Executive Peter Monk, said: "We’re incredibly excited to bring Spitfire flights to the Isle of Man. The island’s dramatic coastline and rich aviation heritage make it a perfect setting for this unforgettable experience.
"We look forward to welcoming both locals and visitors aboard one of our beautifully restored Spitfires for a truly historic flight."
Airport Director Geoff Pugh added: "Isle of Man Airport is delighted to welcome this rare opportunity to the Island.
"We’re confident it will draw both visitors and locals to share in what promises to be a truly unique and memorable experience."
The flights will be available throughout June 2026, departing from Isle of Man Airport.
