Established in 1991, Basair offers students without any previous aviation experience the benefits of a fully-integrated, world-class curriculum; graduating as fully qualified commercial pilots within a year.
With hundreds of alumni flying for major airlines worldwide, and the third largest fleet in Australia (behind QANTAS and Virgin), our mission is to provide young, eager minds with the technical and non-technical tools required to become expert pilots and rounded professionals.
Our passion is in producing pilots who are life-long learners; determined on improving with every flight and mastering their art. This approach positions students to continue to grow and flourish beyond graduation; preparing them for long and successful pilot careers.
Basair is focused on producing life-long learners, who improve with every flight to master their art. This has long been recognised in the industry, which is seen in our graduate’s employment rates. 94% of our Flight Instructor Rating and 85% of our Instrument Rating graduates obtain employment within a year of graduation.
As one of the few 142 approved training organisations in the country, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority allows Basair to train pilots to a commercial standard in only 150 hrs of flight, as opposed to 200 hrs usually required. That is, due to the quality of our training, CASA says we can get you to commercial standard 25% faster than other schools.
Our fleet is the 3rd largest in the country – but that’s not all. It is carefully tailored to ensure our students gain experience during training that will result in them being employed after training. We fly the Cessna and Piper aircraft that you will be flying in your first job – giving you the advantage in the job market, and every chance of succeeding once hired
