Tiger Airways takes its name from the Tiger Moth, probably the best
known of all the 1930's Vintage Bi-planes. Tiger Airways was the West
Country's first modern provider of Tiger Moth Flights and is still the
only provider of Vintage Bi-plane Flights in the West Midlands and
South West. Offering more than simply joy rides, pleasure flights or
scenic flights, we specialize in providing the public with the chance
of ‘hands on' flying in World War Two Vintage, Open Cockpit, Bi-Plane,
Training Aeroplanes from the Tiger Moth era. A flight in one of our
vintage aeroplanes, designed more than seventy years ago, is, we
believe, the most enthralling of all the experience days now on offer.
Include some aerobatics in the flight and you are enjoying the most
exciting of all adventure days.

Tiger Airways' aim is to make the unique, and exhilarating, experience
of actually flying an open cockpit bi-plane available to as many people
as possible. To that end we offer a variety of packages to suit all
tastes and pockets.

Strategically placed in Gloucestershire, right by the M5, Tiger Airways
is the nearest supplier of Vintage Biplane Flights for the people of
Birmingham, Bristol, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Somerset,
Wiltshire, Warwickshire, Devon, Cornwall, Shropshire, Staffordshire,
all of South Wales and Central Wales and much of Oxfordshire. However
our clientel is not confined to residents in those areas, and people
have travelled from, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire,
Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Essex, Suffolk,
Norfolk, Kent, Hampshire, Middlessex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire,
Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Manchester, and of course London
simply to fly with us. We would like to think that visitors from
Scotland, The USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,
France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Ireland, Japan and many other
places, who enjoyed a flight with Tiger Airways came to Gloucester just
to fly with us, but honesty compels us to admit that some of the other
attractions of the Cotswolds may have played a part in fetching them to
England.
Tiger Airways' main base of operations is Gloucestershire Airport ,
once better known as Staverton, the home of the famous Gloster Aircraft
Company. Staverton is immediately adjacent to the M5 between Cheltenham
and Gloucester and easily accessible from Junction 10.
