A rare opportunity for aviation enthusiasts is set to take flight next summer, as flyaspitfire.com prepares to launch Spitfire passenger flights from the Isle of Man’s Ronaldsway Airport in June 2026. The experience will allow passengers to soar in one of the most iconic aircraft of World War II — the Supermarine Spitfire. Operated by the expert team at flyaspitfire.com, the flights promise an unforgettable encounter with the legendary fighter’s power, grace, and historic significance.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring Spitfire flights to the Isle of Man,” said Peter Monk, CEO of flyaspitfire.com. “The island’s dramatic coastline and deep aviation heritage make it an ideal location for this unique experience. We look forward to welcoming both residents and visitors aboard one of our restored Spitfires for a truly memorable flight.”
Flights will run throughout June 2026, departing from Isle of Man Airport. Each experience includes a detailed safety briefing, time to explore the aircraft up close, and a scenic flight over the island’s spectacular landscapes. “Isle of Man Airport is delighted to welcome this rare opportunity,” said Airport Director Geoff Pugh. “We’re confident it will attract both visitors and locals to enjoy what promises to be a truly unique and historic experience.” Based in the United Kingdom, flyaspitfire.com is both a Spitfire flight experience provider and an active restoration facility dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Supermarine Spitfire. The company specializes in returning these iconic aircraft to the air while giving the public a chance to experience flight in a meticulously restored two-seat Spitfire.
Through its passenger flights, flyaspitfire.com helps fund the ongoing maintenance and operation of its fleet, ensuring that these historic machines continue to grace the skies. The organization also plays a vital role in preserving traditional warbird restoration skills through its working “Spitfire Factory,” where engineers, pilots, ground crew, and volunteers collaborate to keep aviation heritage alive. Their collective mission is to deliver the flight of a lifetime aboard one of the world’s most celebrated aircraft. Bookings are now open at www.flyaspitfire.com, with limited availability.
