RVL Aviation was formed in 2007 after its predecessor, Air Atlantique, was dissolved into two separate businesses, West Atlantic UK and RVL Aviation. The company re-located from Coventry Airport to East Midlands Airport in Autumn 2010 upon the completion of its purpose-built hangar facility.

RVL Aviation operates ad hoc passenger and cargo charter flights on behalf of both private and public sector clients, this includes Jersey-based air taxi Isle-Fly who utilises two of RVL Aviation’s Beechcraft King Airs for its flights.

RVL Aviation also operates aerial surveillance and survey flights for a variety of clients including the Environment Agency and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). RVL Aviation’s operations for the MCA includes aerial surveillance, aerial search and rescue support and providing aircraft for the aerial spraying of pollution dispersants on oil spills. The aerial spraying of pollution dispersants was originally performed using a fleet of Douglas DC-3 aircraft however RVL Aviation now utilises a Boeing 737-400 from West Atlantic UK for this task in a joint operation with the latter.
