Opinions about One Air: Students & Instructors speak of us

OPINIONS ABOUT ONE AIR
What do the students think about our pilots school?

What opinions about One Air
do our students have?

Yes, this post is titled ‘Opinions about One Air’, and that is exactly what you will find, but before, let us tell you something.

When a new batch of pilots starts, we cannot avoid sharing the excitement of the new cadets. New friends, new disciplines and a special bright in their eyes; the one that flourishes from the heart when the feeling is that at least, this is the place where you must be.

But it is when they finish, when it truly invades us an indescribable feeling. All together, we transform the energy and passion from the start into experience, fortitude and resilience; without diminishing a bit, the passion for aviation.

Next, you will be able to watch some videos in which our students speak about why they chose One Air for their formation, and how it has been their experience with us or what they have learnt in their path to be a pilot.

So, get comfortable and don’t miss all their opinions about One Air…

Commercial Pilot Licence CPL (A) Student

‘When the pandemic hit, I rethought what I wanted to focus my life on. I looked for a profession that would give me stability and a future, so I discovered that my passion was in aviation. I made an appointment at One Air to meet the school and find out more about the course. I really liked the experience and that same day I signed up the contract and decided that I wanted to become an airline pilot. […]’
