JetSpace Tenant Profile: 737 Flightdeck Experience

Nestled within the world’s oldest continually operated commercial airport, JetSpace’s Shoreham-by-Sea location offers more than just a place to plug in and get to work—it’s an inspiring environment that encourages tenants to dream big. Few businesses illustrate this better than 737 Flightdeck Experience, a passionate venture dedicated to making the thrill of flying a Boeing 737-800 accessible to anyone who’s ever looked skyward and wondered, “What if…?”

We spoke to the owners of 737 Flightdeck Experience to understand a little bit more about their business and why they chose JetSpace as a place to call home.

Taking Flight with 737 Flightdeck Experience

Step inside their suite at JetSpace’s Hangar 4 facility and you’ll discover something extraordinary: a fully immersive Boeing 737-800 simulator that does everything the real aircraft can, short of actually taking off. This is no mere replica. Pilots—both aspiring and established—can use the facility to rehearse critical manoeuvres, build confidence and hone their skills.

On any given day, you might find a soon-to-be EasyJet captain running through nerve-wracking scenarios until he’s ready for his license test. Equally, you might catch a wide-eyed teenager contemplating a career in aviation, or even, as happened last month, an 89-year-old guest fulfilling a lifelong dream of taking the controls in a cockpit. It’s this inclusive, open-door ethos that sets 737 Flightdeck Experience apart. They believe the transformative magic of flight should be available to anyone with a sense of adventure.

This vision of accessibility goes beyond formal training too. Soon, the company plans to launch a “Krypton Factor”-style experience—short, affordable taster flights that let visitors tackle the exhilarating challenge of landing the plane. Whether booked through experience providers like Into the Blue and Wonder Days, or discovered through ads in unlikely places (yes, even the airport loos!), 737 Flightdeck Experience offers a welcoming route to a once-impossible dream.

The Perfect Launchpad: Why JetSpace?

When Jason, Nick, Tim, Chris and John founded 737 Flightdeck Experience they set out to find the ideal home base knowing they wanted somewhere that wasn’t just convenient, but also inspiring. JetSpace, located right next to the runway of Shoreham’s iconic airport, was the obvious answer.

With their offices overlooking a working hangar bustling with helicopters and light aircraft, the team enjoys a constantly changing backdrop that reminds them why they got into this business in the first place. For flight enthusiasts, there’s no better setting. The office environment doesn’t just look good—it feels good, too. Surrounded by fellow entrepreneurs, the team has discovered a community of neighbours willing to help one another thrive. They’ve even pitched in to help other tenants move in, contributing to a sense of camaraderie that you may not typically come by in more conventional office blocks.

From a practical standpoint, JetSpace’s serviced offices tick every box. The 737 Flightdeck Experience team are free to access their suite at any time, giving them the flexibility to work around client bookings—no matter the day or hour. This freedom translates directly into better customer experiences: when someone wants to book a weekend session or an early-morning flight simulation, it’s no problem. The infrastructure and security are in place, enabling the team to run their passion project on their own terms.

Beyond the Desk: Perks of the Location

For lunch breaks and client meet-ups, 737 Flightdeck Experience’s team doesn’t have to travel far. The main Hummingbird Restaurant inside the historic terminal building serves up everything from hearty breakfasts to director Jason’s favourite, the perfect caramel latte. Prefer something a little more low-key? Maddy at Café No. 8 sets up shop in a charming apron adjacent caravan, offering top-notch coffee and sandwiches with an unmistakable local flair. And let’s not forget that JetSpace tenants benefit from a discount at both onsite venues!

It’s hard to beat the atmosphere: one moment you’re reviewing flight data, and the next you’re sipping on a cappuccino as aircraft roll by, preparing for take-off. It’s a daily reminder that this is not your average workspace.

An Invitation to Other Entrepreneurs

What’s the secret to finding business premises that offer more than a desk and a broadband connection? According to the 737 Flightdeck Experience team, it’s about embracing unique spaces like JetSpace. Rather than settling for an uninspiring location, why not enjoy your morning coffee while watching planes prepare for flight? Whether you’re a startup, an established enterprise or a passion project in the making, JetSpace’s serviced offices give you the flexibility, community and surroundings to help your business truly reach new heights.

So if you’re a local entrepreneur who’s never considered what a serviced office space can bring, it’s time to visit JetSpace. Spend a sunny morning at the airfield, watch the activity unfold on the runway and grab a coffee. Talk to people who love what they do and want to help others succeed. The experience here is as unique as a flight in a Boeing 737-800 simulator—and just as inspiring.
