As the adrenaline-pumping trend of aerobatic flights takes flight, Ras Al Khaimah introduces the UAE's first commercial aerobatic flight experience. Launched by ActionFlight, get ready to experience speed reaching a whopping 400kph and enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the coastline, desert, and mountains.
Launching from RAK International Airport, these heart-racing flights ascend to 2,000 to 6,000 feet, skimming past Marjan Island, Cove Rotana, and Al Rams as directed by Air Traffic Control.
The aerobatic flight includes loops, rolls, hammerheads, avalanche, inverted flights, and jaw-dropping vertical climbs up to 3,000 feet. Priced at Dhs 2,399 for a 20-minute thrill, the entire adventure, from pick-up to airport, briefing, and flight suit fitting, lasts about three hours. The first flight departs at 7am, with the last at 5pm during daylight hours.
Operated by ActionFlight, these high-octane adventures feature the world-champion EXTRA 330 aircraft, often hailed as the 'Ferrari of the skies'. If you are planning to experience this adventure, requirements are straightforward: a max weight of 110kg, a minimum age of 12, and no recent surgery or pregnancy. Dress comfortably in sportswear and trainers, as loose items are a no-go.
As for cameras and phones, you cannot carry them with you. However, the team will have optional in-flight photos and video options that you can choose.
If the flight is cancelled due to weather conditions, there's no refund; however, you can rebook the experience anytime within the 12-month validity period.
