We're approaching the halfway point of WorldFlight 2026, and what a few days it has been! Our Fly UK crews have been busy making their way around the world, the community has been following every step of the journey, and most importantly, we've already raised a fantastic amount for Cancer Research UK.
With plenty more flying still to come, we're hoping to make the second half of WorldFlight even better – and we need your help!
20 Flights Complete and Over £2,700 Raised!
As of Tuesday evening, our WorldFlight teams have completed 20 of the 43 scheduled flights, taking us ever closer to the halfway point of our seven-day journey around the world.
Even more excitingly, our fundraising total has reached £2,782.50, including Gift Aid, thanks to the incredible generosity of our members, viewers and supporters.
The response has been so positive that we've already increased our fundraising target to £6,000! It's a fantastic position to be in, but we're not stopping there. With several days still to go, we'd love to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK.
Whether you've already donated or are thinking about supporting us, please help us keep the momentum going. Every donation makes a difference, and sharing our fundraising page with friends, family and fellow flight simulation enthusiasts can help us reach even more people.
Let's see just how much we can raise before WorldFlight finishes!

Two Teams, One Incredible Journey
Our two official Fly UK teams have been working their way through the demanding WorldFlight schedule, keeping our aircraft moving around the globe.
Team Alpha (UKV26A) continues to operate from the full-size Airbus A320 simulator, marking the first year Fly UK has participated in WorldFlight with a team flying from a dedicated A320 simulator. With crews rotating throughout the day and night, it's been fantastic to see the operation in action.
Meanwhile, Team Bravo (UKV26B) continues to represent Fly UK from home, with pilots flying their allocated legs using their own simulator setups.
A huge thank you to all the pilots involved in both teams for giving up their time, including those taking on the challenging overnight sectors. There's still plenty of flying ahead!
Join Us on the Live Stream
We've loved seeing so many people tuning in to follow the journey so far, and we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been watching and supporting our crews.
You can continue to watch Team Alpha (UKV26A) live from the A320 simulator throughout WorldFlight, with coverage available across YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.
Whether you're a regular viewer or joining us for the first time, we'd love to hear from you. Drop into the stream chat, say hello, ask questions and show your support for the crews as they make their way around the world.

Highlights From the Journey So Far
From busy departures and challenging approaches to some fantastic scenery along the way, WorldFlight has already delivered plenty of memorable moments.
We've included a selection of screenshots from the journey so far below, capturing some of the highlights from our crews as they make their way around the world.
There's still time to get involved yourself, too. Fly UK members can join the action by flying one or more legs from our WorldFlight 2026 tour. Remember, this is a limited-time event, and all tour flights must be completed before WorldFlight finishes on Saturday 7 November.
Thank You – Let's Keep Going!
Finally, we'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped make WorldFlight 2026 such a success so far.
To our official pilots in Team Alpha and Team Bravo, everyone flying alongside us, those watching and chatting on the live streams, and of course everyone who has donated – thank you!
We're incredibly grateful for the support, and with several days still remaining, there's plenty more to look forward to.
Our fundraising target has increased, the prize draw is coming on Friday, and the journey is far from over.
If you haven't donated yet, now is a great time. If you have, please consider sharing our fundraising page and helping us spread the word.
Let's keep flying, keep sharing and raise as much money as we possibly can for Cancer Research UK!
