Aircraft

G-LEAP, Skydive Swansea’s BN2T Turbine Islander is a high performance twin-turbine aircraft capable of carrying a full load of skydivers to altitude in approximately 10 minutes.

The Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander started life as a 1960s British light utility aircraft, mainline airliner and also a cargo aircraft designed and originally manufactured by the company Britten-Norman of the United Kingdom. The Islander, as it is known, is one of the best-selling commercial aircraft types produced in Europe during that period. Although designed in the 1960s, over 750 are still in service with commercial operators around the world, lending strong credibility to the aircraft's pedigree. The aircraft is also used by the army and police forces in the United Kingdom to this day and is a popular light transport with over 30 military aviation operators around the world.

The staff at Skydive Swansea pride themselves on providing a professional service with the highest regard for the rules and regulations laid down by the British Parachute Association and the Civil Aviation Authority. The aim of Skydive Swansea is to allow you to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush while knowing that safety is at all times the top priority.
