Lyddair

Lyddair (ICAO: LYD) is a United Kingdom charter airline established in 2001 and relaunched in April 2002. Originally offering scheduled services, the airline transitioned to exclusive charter operations in November 2018, reflecting its strategic focus on flexible, on-demand air transport.

Based at London Ashford Airport (also known as Lydd Airport) in Romney Marsh, Kent, Lyddair operates throughout the UK, Ireland, and Continental Europe. The airline serves diverse clientele including corporate charter passengers, medical organizations coordinating organ transplants, and freight operators. As a subsidiary of Atlantic Bridge Aviation Limited, Lyddair maintains operational and financial stability within a larger aviation group.

The fleet comprises two light twin-engine aircraft: the Piper Chieftain PA31-350 and the Beechcraft B200 King Air. These modern turboprop platforms are well-suited to charter operations, offering flexibility on regional routes and access to smaller airfields where larger commercial jets cannot operate. The compact fleet and specialized aircraft enable rapid deployment for urgent medical missions and tailored charter solutions.
