  Why study in Australia?

There are many reasons to study in exciting Australia. Here are just a few...

1. The Australian Commercial Pilot Licence is highly regarded around the world. For many years Australia has been one of the world's leading Aviation countries, and has been recognised as such with the Australian CPL being known the world over.
Many airline pilots flying for all the major airlines around the world started off their career by obtaining the Australian CPL.

2. It is affordable. Now more than ever it is very affordable to study for your CPL in Australia. Have a look at our online information for an outline of our courses.

3. Very sophisticated airspace - ideal for training. Some of the most modern Air Traffic Control systems have been implemented in Australia. And yet, unlike the United States, the skies are not crowded - your training will not be affected by high traffic levels. You get to learn in the most modern airspace environment, without the hassles of overcrowded skies.

4. Australians welcome overseas students. You will fit right in when you arrive in Australia! Australians are a very friendly people. Basair has instructors from various countries on staff to help you fit in.

5. Ideal climate, ideal land. Australia probably has the best climate in the world for pilot training - that's why many international students currently train in Australia. We have many clear, fine days giving plenty of opportunities for flying. Also, Australia is so large that you will experience many different types of landscape - meaning you will comfortable flying anywhere in the world.

6. Home of the 2000 Olympic games. Sydney was the home to the 200 Olympic Games, and Bankstown Airport (where you will be based) is only a short distance from Olympic Park. Not only will you be able to see where the Olympics were held (and fly over many venues) you will also get to experience all the excitement of being in an Olympic City.

7. Australia is an exciting country. Sydney has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are also many places where you can play and watch cricket, football as well as many other sports! During your training you will fly away on overnight trips to see some of the spectacular "outback" and magnificent coastline of the world's largest island. Australia does not share its borders with any other country - so you are free to fly anywhere on the continent. You will see everything from tropical islands, to vast deserts to rugged mountain ranges.
