From a take off nearly four decades ago we are now one of the largest companies operating in the general aviation sector worldwide. We offer commercial and private pilot training of the highest standards for both FAA and JAA licences. Our fleet totals over 160 aircraft and flies more than 72,000 hours a year in the UK, Spain and USA. It encompasses state of the art glass cockpit fixed wing and rotary aircraft and simulators, from trainer to corporate jet.
As a major supplier of quality First Officers and future commanders to international airlines, our customers include the likes of British Airways, Flybe, Ryanair, Air India, Kuwait Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines.
The Group also provides consultancy, executive charter, FBO operations, aviation & English language training & testing, pilot assessment & selection to both civil and military requirements.
We complement these services with aeroplane & helicopter sales & management, London sight-seeing flights and helicopter visits to schools to educate & entertain our future pilots - all this supported by our own maintenance divisions.
Whatever your requirements, we have the credentials to deliver AVIATION EXCELLENCE.
Cabair works closely with many of the world’s leading airlines to ensure employment opportunities are available upon completion of training. We are also involved in sponsored programmes such as the very successful scheme with Flybe which offers a partly sponsored ATPL Integrated Programme and has been running for the last twelve years.
Cabair also works closely with banks and financial institutions in order to provide funding solutions for commercial pilot training.
sWithin Europe, Cabair has the largest independent group of flying schools for commercial and private pilots offering consistently high quality training and services throughout.
Cabair College of Air Training (CCAT) at Cranfield, 50 miles North of London, has specialised in airline pilot training for over 20 years and our graduates can be found flying for - or as senior managers in - airlines around the world. The flagship Integrated course - First Officer Direct - is a substantial provider of quality First Officers to the industry and is conducted using the most advanced all-glass cockpit aircraft and simulators in the industry.
The European Pilot Training Academy (EPTA) South of London at Bournemouth International Airport offers the Pathfinder Modular System for commercial pilot training. Pathfinder’s flexibility allows professional courses to be completed at various Cabair locations around the globe, yet still be represented on a graduate’s CV as training from one quality training provider, a benefit acknowledged by airline recruiters.
Fair weather base options for commercial training are available at our affiliate organisations at Requena in Spain, and at various centres in Florida, USA, the most popular locations being at Kissimmee with Orlando Flight Training, and at Merritt Island with Space Coast Aviation.
Cabair Flying Schools Limited operate 7 traditional Private Pilot flying schools in the UK specialising in both fixed wing and helicopter, and offering a range of products from one-off flights to Private Pilot Licences, additional ratings and Flight Instructor courses.
For some years Cabair have been working closely with several universities and colleges in developing unique degree courses which integrate commercial pilot training with an academic qualification.
Buckinghamshire New University offer two different Degree courses, both with commercial pilot training included. The first option is a 3 year BA (Hons) in Air Transport which is coupled with a Modular training programme to gain an Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence through Cabair. The second option is the same degree but it can be completed within eighteen months and in conjunction with an Integrated Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence programme at CCAT which involves flight training taking place in the UK, Spain or Florida.
Kingston University’s Faculty of Engineering offer a Foundation Degree in Aviation Studies with an optional one-year or part-time BSc (Hons) in Aviation Studies. It provides an option to gain an Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence as an integrated part of the course, and is proving extremely popular with students who very much enjoy the basic flying training in Florida.
London’s City University offer a BSc (Honours) course in Air Transport Operations combined with an Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL). Students can undertake the Honours degree and combine it with either an Integrated ATPL programme at CCAT, Cranfield, or with a structured Modular ATPL programme at EPTA in Bournemouth.
The third year of the degree is ‘part-time’ allowing students to begin working within the industry as commercial pilots at the same time as completing their BSc.
