What Happened to DD Aviation After Dragons’ Den?

DD Aviation appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2024, Series 21 Episode 10. The business was a space travel. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

David Doughty and Barry Shanks walked into the Den in 2024 with a space travel. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 5% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and David Doughty and Barry Shanks left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

DD Aviation is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.

Is DD Aviation Still in Business?

Yes. DD Aviation appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
