Over 30 years of experience
The Aeros Group has been recognised for many years as one of the leading Modular Flight Training schools in the UK.
Our reputation for high quality instruction, delivered in our purpose built modern training facilities, not to mention our unsurpassed commercial flight test pass rates, has made us the envy of the flight training industry.
Established in 1986, Aeros Flight Training has operational bases at Coventry, Cardiff, Gloucester, Nottingham and Doncaster.
We operate a large and expanding fleet which is maintained by our own on-site team of certified engineers, at both our Gloucester and Nottingham bases. We are able to respond quickly to technical issues arising, ensuring that our students benefit from very little downtime.
Aeros can offer professional flight training courses for people with no experience of flying or individually tailored courses for those who already have some flying experience including those who wish to convert their existing licence.
