National Flight Centre

The National Flight Centre is based at Leixlip in County Dublin, on the Kildare border, and is concerned with aviation training and flying activity. Operations of this type typically cover flight instruction, licence training and introductory flights for those curious about taking the controls.

For visitors, the appeal lies in seeing light aircraft up close and, for some, in the chance of a trial lesson over the Liffey valley and the surrounding countryside. Availability depends on weather and scheduling, so anyone hoping to fly should arrange matters in advance rather than simply calling in.
