Operator of the third largest aircraft fleet in Australia, behind Qantas & Virgin Blue.

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 Licenses, multi-engine endorsements, instrument flying and instructor ratings.

All of our training is provided to a very high quality.  We have a very well structured competency based curriculum, which means students typically achieve a commercial pilot license 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 license (PPL) for fun or a commercial pilot licence (CPL) to kick-start your career then Basair Aviation College is the place for you.
