A UK Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority, held with an Operating Licence, is the approval a company needs to sell flights on its aircraft in the UK. The CAA approves the company's management, pilots, training, maintenance and aircraft, and keeps auditing it. Flights sold on aircraft outside an AOC, sometimes called grey charter, are illegal. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Company
About Bliss Aviation
Bliss Aviation is a flying school and aviation business at Bournemouth Airport in Dorset, working alongside its sister company Bournemouth Handling. It is approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority as a flight training organisation.
Its fleet includes Piper PA-28 Warrior and Arrow, Cessna 172 and Cirrus SR20 aeroplanes and a Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter. Students train from recreational flying to commercial qualifications in busy controlled airspace on a paved runway, which keeps training going through the winter. Bliss also flies helicopter sightseeing tours over the Dorset coast, charters and photography flights, sells aircraft and handles and parks visiting aircraft, with customs available.
For visitors to Bournemouth, Poole and the Jurassic Coast, its R44 offers short scenic flights from the airport.
