We’re delighted to announce that Aero Legends has formally applied for an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) to enable passenger flights on our iconic Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft.
Reaching this point has been a lengthy and complex process, requiring a substantial amount of work behind the scenes alongside ongoing engagement with the Civil Aviation Authority. While there is undoubtedly still a significant amount of work ahead of us, we are incredibly excited to be moving forward with our plans.
The Douglas C-47 Dakota is one of the most important and recognisable aircraft in aviation history, with a legacy spanning D-Day, the Berlin Airlift and countless operations around the world. To have the opportunity, in the hopefully not too distant future, to share the experience of flying aboard these remarkable aircraft with the public is something we are hugely passionate about.
Alongside our future passenger flight ambitions, we remain fully committed to supporting the parachute teams operating from our Dakotas with commemorative parachute jumps throughout the UK and Europe, together with numerous appearances at airshows and aviation events.
We look forward to sharing further updates as the project progresses.
