From Kroonstad Airport, we provide the full portfolio of aviation training.

Our Pilot Career Program (PCP) allows the aspirant career Commercial Pilot to progress through a defined and structured career path, which includes working as a flight instructor at Fantini Air School and progress to fly with our partner Airline Fantini Air.

​

One of Africa’s leading Airline Training Company, Fantini Air School owns, operates and offers over 20 different training options on over 10 different aircraft fleet types, with SACAA, FAA, EASA, ANAC and National DGCA approvals, we provide more Type Rating training and courses than any other Airline Training Company in Africa.

​

The benefits of training with Fantini Air School are numerous, the greatest being the knowledge and experience that the future pilot will gain, knowing he or she can operate in any airspace or into any airport with confidence.

​

We aim to dispel any misconceptions about unnecessarily expensive training and to set you on a solid foundation for your future career. The general flying area (GFA) is a few minutes’ flying time away, reducing overall flight costs and maximizing the training-to-flight time.

Fantini Air School (Pty) Ltd. provides the highest standard of pilot training service, including a professional overview of the commercial aviation sector.

​

Whether your goal is to become a Commercial Pilot or to obtain a Private Pilot’s License for recreational flying, we pride ourselves with our experienced flight instructors, our comprehensive fleet of well-equipped aircraft and a vibrant and educational training environment.

​

The Airbus A320, Boeing 737, ATR42/72, Lear jet 35A and Embraer 145 are just some of the simulators we offer training on to airlines and self-sponsored candidates together with Aircraft Base Training and Line Training Programs.

​

We conduct most training on traditional, tried and tested, flight instrument equipped Cessna 172 Diamond DA42 Twinstar and Piper Seneca aircraft. These aircraft are the international staple of ab-initio training, which properly prepares the candidate for the realities of commercial aviation. While modern glass cockpits are the way of the future, the current training versions available in General Aviation are not representative of traditional commercial transport aircraft and likely, your first job will be on aircraft equipped in the standard, traditional way.
