CASA Pilot Licences - respected and validated around the world as ICAO Pilot Licences. Australain and Kiwi Pilots are highly respected throughout the world and many have ventured away from home to fly abroad for international airlines such as Korean Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airlines Cargo, and more.
Optimum Weather Down-Under – The weather is perfect for Flight Training - with many clear sunny days for months on end. In New Zealand and Australia, pilots in training can take advantage of the cooler seasons to get practicial experience flying in cloud in IMC conditions, sometimes even within icing conditions.
Training Costs in Australia / New Zealand – Training down-under is extremely cost effective when compared with training in Europe and Asia - in fact it is estimated to be between 30-35% less. This reduced cost in building flight hours and training can be a real advantage to Pilots from European & Asian countries. Many Asian airlines have chosen Australia for their Ab-Initio Training Programs for new cadet pilots. Here they can train these cadet pilots from day 1 of flying right through to their first Airliner Simulator Training Flight - this saves these airlines millions of dollars each year due to the relatively low cost of training down-under in Australia and New Zealand.
