WoW! What an amazing experience!!! We got the first flying lesson for our 11 years old son. Thank you Team and especially Tom who firstly got to show our son the plane, made him comfortable and can I just add how extremely knowledgeable Tom is! He answered every single question about the plane! Very professional and we had a great time! Very relaxed, we stayed outside watching take off and land! Milo the flight instructor was brilliant too, he even took photos and video of our son controlling the plane, also shared the Flightradar app and we followed their route! How cool is that! Totally recommend!

I did my PPL at Aerohire with Instructor Paul. It's a fantastic flight school ran by genuinley great people. There's a really friendly, but equally professional atmosphere throughout and all the team do their absolute best to help and advise you through the process. They have really competitive prices and are completley transparent about it and never ask you to pay upfront. I highly reccomend learning with Aerohire!

Started flying in with Aerohire in September last year 2025 and Nick my flight instructor is second to none Milo helped massively with my ground school. Ryan’s team are a credit to him picking the correct people. The club house is fantastic with free tea coffee and snacks and great for viewing the aircraft. I am a member and will continue to be a member to carry my own flying. They have a suitable amount of aircraft to cover if any becomes unserviceable. The prices are fair and you only pay for what you use. If you’re thinking of a trial flight or even a NPPL/or PPL this is the place to come you won’t be disappointed. It’s been a pleasure. To be a member at Aerohire flight training.

After a bumpy start to my flight training journey with another school on the airfield, I quickly came across Aerohire. I called the number straight away and spoke with Ryan, who was incredibly helpful and took time out of his evening to get me set up on the booking system. My first lesson with Aerohire went exceptionally well. I was introduced to a like-minded instructor with a wealth of experience, and from day one, the staff made me feel welcome and genuinely took an interest in getting to know me. Fast forward to today, and I am now a licence holder, having completed my training with Aerohire last year. The club has become my second home, and I spend countless hours there, whether socialising with fellow members or hiring aircraft for self-fly trips. I should also mention that their aircraft hire rates are extremely competitive. You will not be disappointed by the level of training Aerohire provides. With a strong, well-maintained, and well-equipped fleet of aircraft, I can confidently say this is the place to go for flight training. I would like to thank all the staff at Aerohire for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a pilot and for continuing to support me throughout my aviation journey.

I first enquired about restarting my NPPL training with Aerohire in December 2025, after completing about 15 hours of lessons elsewhere a few years prior. I can safely say it has been the best aviation-based decision I have ever made. Ryan and the Aerohire team are all absolutely brilliant, friendly people who bring a wealth of experience and skills to anyone's flight training. Nick Clarke and Milo GB, who are my flight instructors, are both absolutely excellent and I have never been anything less than incredibly impressed by their ability to teach, their attention to detail and knowledge of aviation. In addition to this, Aerohire are by far the most reasonably priced flight school I have looked into, without compromising on safety or quality of tuition. For many of us, learning to fly is a huge personal investment when money is already hard to come by and it is important to ensure you are at a school that won't rip you off or put profits over the quality of their teaching. Again, this is the case at Aerohire. In my experience, flight schools can often feel extremely privileged, with affluent individuals wandering around who are only too happy to look down on you, yet Aerohire's friendly atmosphere extends to all it's students and, should you learn to fly here, you'll find people to be extremely welcoming and kind from the start. Finally, I'd like to highlight that I am traveling from Bicester in Oxfordshire to learn at Aerohire, which means no less than 3 hours driving for every lesson. I hope this demonstrates just how impressed I am with the school, as I'm more than happy making that journey on a weekly basis, sometimes more. Under Nick and Milo, I've now completed my first solo and started solo navigation work. I look forward to seeing what comes next. Thanks for everything guys. If you want to fly, choose Aerohire! 🫡♥️
