Aviation Academy Austria
Aviation Academy Austria (AAA) provides professional pilot training for airlines, business aviation operators and private individuals. Our training covers every stage of a pilot’s career, from a student’s first flight to advanced type ratings for airline and business aviation pilots using modern full flight simulators.
AAA was founded in 2004 by a group of young pilots and began operations with the acquisition of its first full flight simulator. Investment from Athena Burgenland provided a strong financial foundation for the company’s continued growth. In the years that followed, further simulators were added and the training centre was expanded to accommodate six simulator bays.
Located in Neusiedl am See, our training centre operates 24 hours a day, 362 days a year. Today, AAA delivers training on six full flight simulators, supported by a range of additional training devices, including cockpit procedure trainers and fixed base simulators. Our ATPL Academy also operates a fleet of 15 training aircraft and two simulators, with the capacity to train up to 75 graduates each year.
Purpose
We train pilots to ensure aviation remains safe through the highest standards of professional flying.
