A FLIGHT school with a base at Leeds Bradford Airport has gone into voluntary liquidation.

Just two years ago PTT Aviation outlined its plans to become the premier pilot training and testing facility in the UK - with bases at Leeds Bradford, Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley Airports. At that stage it had a fleet of 30 aircraft and helicopters across the North and around 50 members of staff.

But this week the company went into liquidation and its aircraft have now been grounded.

In a recorded message the company says: “The directors of the company have reluctantly taken the decision to place the company into creditors voluntary liquidation.”

The date for liquidation has been given as September 3 and anyone with questions is directed to the insolvency specialist Clark Business Recovery.
