About Us
At Open Blue, we believe that learning to fly should be simple, safe, and affordable
Founded with a passion for aviation and a desire to make flying more accessible, we’ve built a training experience that focuses on what truly matters: the aircraft, the instructors, and you — the student.
OUR APPROACH
To provide professional, CAA-approved training that empowers aspiring pilots to achieve their goals, whether that’s a career in aviation, recreational flying, or finally checking “fly a plane” off the bucket list. We’re not weighed down by expensive offices or unnecessary overheads. Instead, we keep things personal, flexible, and transparent, ensuring every penny you spend goes directly into quality instruction and flight time.
OUR LOCATION
We’re proud to operate in Teesside and North Yorkshire, with training based at Bagby Airfield, Thirsk. Where we fly combines the convenience of regional airfields with the open skies and space you need to learn confidently.
OUR AIRCRAFT
We train in a carefully maintained fleet ideal for learning:
Cessna 172 — the world’s most popular 4-seat training aircraft
PA-38 Piper Tomahawk — a dependable 2-seater trainer
