Canterbury Aero Club

General information

If you have ever dreamed of flying, you can make that dream come true with us. Welcome to the official page for Canterbury Aero Club.

Experience the exhilaration of flying a plane!

The Canterbury Aero Club provides flight training from the first introductory flight, through to solo and on to your private, or commercial pilots licence, including multi engine and instructor ratings. The choice is yours. Whether your aim is recreational or a professional career path, we will train you to the highest standard with safety always paramount.

If your goal is a professional career in aviation, you will train with our wholly owned subsidiary company, the International Aviation Academy of New Zealand Ltd.

Academy members are also full pilot members of the Club and enjoy full member activities and privileges.

Our Club is based at Christchurch International Airport and is New Zealand's largest Aero Club.

We also have an active branch at Rangiora Airfield.

The facilities we provide are world class and include our own private airfield at West Melton for the exclusive use of members.

We welcome club members' posts, photos and videos! Regular updates about Club events will be listed here.
FYI - I've been elected 'admin' based on my role as chair of the Membership & Publicity sub-committee.
I look forward to many excellent posts!
