SueAir was set up in 2007 to provide modern, Glass Cockpit aircraft for hire to suitably qualified pilots.

SueAir is based at Leeds East airfield, Gloucester airfield, Cardiff airfield & Cotswold airfield and currently operates 5 Diamond aircraft: two DA42 TDI Twin Stars and three DA40 New Generations. All aircraft offer great performance, superb visibility and a reliable, Garmin 1000 Glass Cockpit with a fully integrated Garmin GFC 700 digital autopilot.

The aircraft may be hired for private use or for training for higher certificates, for example: MEP Class Rating; Instrument Rating; Competency Based Instrument Rating; En-Route Instrument Rating; IR Restricted; revalidations; renewals; DA42 conversion courses; DA40NG conversion courses; and, Glass Cockpit conversion courses.

The concept of SueAir is to offer flying on a flexible basis. Pilots may hire an aircraft for a short local trip, for a day trip or for a longer trip over a number of days. The only requirement is that you should aim to fly an average of around 2 hours per day of hire e.g. Le Touquet for a day, Paris for a weekend and the South of France for a week. This is not a hard and fast rule, however, and there is flexibility for you to fly fewer hours particularly during the winter months and on week days.

There is no joining fee and no annual club membership fee and pilots can choose from 3 options to hire the aircraft: a pay-as-you-fly rate; a block of hours payable in advance; a monthly amount and a reduced hourly rate. The hire cost includes fuel, parking, hangarage and landing fees at the aircraft’s home base. Rates excluding fuel are available on request.
