Skydrift Air Charter was an air company, based in Norwich, which started on-demand flight in 2004.[1] After a relatively positive activity, the company decided to activate scheduled connections from Shoreham Airport. These commenced on 24 July 2006 under Skysouth brand to France, Caen and Le Touquet destinations with at least 22 weekly flights.[2] A twice-weekly service to Deauville was introduced on 15 January 2008. All scheduled operations were halted in February 2009[3], citing, in the website announcement, "unprecedented economic conditions" which made the operation no longer financially viable. The company ceased all operations during the following year.
