About Us
We offer a wide range of high quality training

Inspired By Excellence & Innovation

The Academy was founded by aviation professionals including highly experienced pilots and other essential personnel. It was started as a project in 2015 and the Academy officially became an EASA Approved Training Organisation in 2016 by the Swedish Civil Aviation Authorities.

Stockholm, the capital of Scandinavia was the obvious choice for us, We’re surrounded by flight training, general as well as commercial aviation, which is a perfect climate for our purpose. The majority of the flight training is conducted in Stockholm Västerås Airport and Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

The Academy is comprised of a highly experienced and well-qualified staff. The Senior Management is embodied by several decades of experience in the airline industry. The majority of Scandinavian Aerospace Academy Instructors maintain active flight duty in order to keep proficiency to be up-to-date with changes that are made everyday in the aviation industry.
