OUR STORY

Since 1979, Canadian Flight Centre (CFC) had one vision in mind – to share the dream of flying with everyone – not just a privileged few.
At the same time, there was a need for the highly specialized training of professional pilots seeking airline jobs. This is when CFC became one of the first schools with a focus on instrument flying and other advanced training.
Since then, CFC has trained thousands of pilots from all over the world.
We continue to train both recreational pilots and the future generation of professional pilots from around the globe as they prepare for their career in aviation… or to fly themselves to their next vacation.
