The professional staff, challenging environmental conditions along with flying the brand new fleet at a lower price than other flight schools made the choice easy for me.

The landscape in Iceland is amazing and it was fantastic to get an opportunity to explore it from above.

My experience with Keilir Aviation Academy was outstanding and I can highly recommend it.

Keilir Aviation Academy offered flexible training, good prices, motivated instructors, good resources and modern visions.

The Flight Instructor Certificate (FI) prepares you for the role as a flight instructor. During the course 8-12 week program you will learn how to prepare briefings and conduct practical sessions for flight training.
