About Us

Tayside Aviation Limited was formed in 1968 by the previous Managing Director, Lovat Fraser, at Riverside Airstrip in Dundee (now Dundee Airport) with one aircraft, a Tipsy Nipper (this is how the restaurant at Fife got its name).

Tayside Aviation Limited currently operates over 15 aircraft over the company's two sites at Dundee and Fife. The company is the largest light aircraft training organisation in Scotland and operates a highly respected engineering facility at the Company's Dundee site.

Tayside Aviation has four nominated charities who we regularly assist and support. Read more »»
