01 Overview
New Zealand Airline Academy Limited (NZAAL) at a glance.
New Zealand Airline Academy was established by aviation professionals with more than three decades of experience helping international students. It operates from Oamaru Airport in North Otago, with a second base being established in Whanganui.
The school says its commercial pilot training for international students is approved by NZQA, and that international student fees are protected by Public Trust. Its Commercial Pilot Training Scheme is delivered under sub-contract from National Trade Academy, an NZQA Category One provider, and leads to a New Zealand commercial pilot licence with a multi engine rating.
The school owns 25 aircraft, Tecnam single engine, multi engine and IFR trainers and Cessna single engine aircraft, and trains on touch screen glass cockpit aircraft from the first lesson. Students live at Aviator's Place, the school's own 70-bed hostel in central Oamaru, with an ensuite room each, meals and transport to the airport.
The school says it is the only fixed wing training provider in New Zealand to use touch screen glass cockpit aircraft from the first lesson.
