We are also the main supplier of pilots for our very own international carrier Fiji Airways and domestic operators here in Fiji.
The Pacific Flying School has world class facilities to ensure our trainee pilots are provided with the same or better facilities and learning environment as their colleagues overseas. The company also has additional outputs including CAR 145 Aircraft Maintenance Service which includes Helicopters and Fixed Wing.
We are the only training institution in Fiji that is also part of a large charter operation for both aeroplanes and helicopters including a maintenance facility which not only provides prompt, safe and efficient in-house maintenance of our fleet but also valuable insight to our students on aircraft operations and maintenance.

Advance Aviation Training (Fiji) Ltd
Advance Aviation Training (Fiji) Ltd was founded in 2002 by Wayne & Deborah Hinton. Their aim: To be the leading provider of Professional Pilot Training in Fiji and setting the standard of flight training in the Pacific.
The operation was conducted from humble beginnings within two units at the Tanoa Skylodge Hotel. Initially the school was established to offer aviation theory classes including advanced courses such as Airline Transport Pilot Licence theory. In 2003 operations were expanded to include practical flight training and our first aircraft was imported into Fiji, a Cessna 172RG.
