iFLY Birmingham: coming back to the NEC (and perfect for Christmas gifting)

10 December 2025

Birmingham! Are you ready to fly again? We’re delighted to share that iFLY is bringing indoor skydiving back to the NEC, under new management. It’s a fresh chapter for flight in the Midlands. No plane, no parachute. Just that pure, take-your-breath-away feeling of real flight.

Doors open again soon, but here’s the good news… gift vouchers are live right now. Buy one today to be first in line to redeem it when iFLY Birmingham re-launches (or use it at any of our UK tunnels in the meantime). Because honestly, who wouldn’t want to unwrap “You got me indoor skydiving” this Christmas?

What’s taking off again in Birmingham?

Think indoor skydiving without the jump. You’ll float on a cushion of air inside a skydiving tunnel (some call it a fly tunnel, others say air tube flying).

Been searching “indoor skydiving near me”, “wind tunnel near me” or “wind tunnel skydiving near me”? This is the tunnel you’ve been waiting for… (our 5th one, to be exact), and it’s coming back to the NEC soon.

Give flight this Christmas (and use it later)

Vouchers are the easy win. Buy now, decide the date later. When iFLY Birmingham opens its booking diary, you’ll be able to redeem iFLY-issued vouchers there. Until then, you can use them at any of our UK tunnels:
