Flying School

We have been training pilots since more than 30 years. Our former students are now on the road as airline pilots for Swiss, Ryanair, Lufthansa, Adria, Etihad, Emirates and many more. Some of them decided for a career as a military pilot and today they fly FA-18 or Super Puma. Others have chosen the path of the flight instructor sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with our new students.

Not all of them aim to become a professional pilot, many would enjoy the private pilot privilege of flying around with family and friends in the Swiss or European skies.
Benefit from our extensive experience, our professional flight instructor team, our all-season operation and the interesting, varied airport structure.

Safety first, that applies to us too. Join our highly professional team, the casual environment, and profit from the high quality services provided at Locarno airport.

Accurate, precise, efficient.
