Australia's Largest Flying School
Basair is the largest flying college in Australia. (CASA register of aircraft operators, April 2009.)
We operate a fleet of over 50 aircraft, which is the third largest commercial fleet in Australia, behind only QANTAS and Virgin Blue. We have 44 high quality instructors, dedicated to training students to an excellent standard.
Since Basair was founded in 1991, over 4,500 customers have chosen to fly with Basair. We cater for a wide range of customers, from those that want a simple joy flight over Sydney Harbour -- to students studying for Commercial Pilot Licences, multi-engine endorsements, instrument flying and instructor ratings.
All of our flight training is provided to a very high quality. We have an excellent, structured competency based curriculum - which means students typically achieve a commercial pilot licence in 8 months. We teach both the theory and the practical aspects of flying.
If you want to become a pilot, either a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) for fun or a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) to kick-start your career then Basair Aviation College is the place for you.
