With over thirty years of flying tradition and experience behind us, we know what it takes to make the best commercial and Airline pilots. Besides training pilots, AAPA's parent company Regional Express (Rex) is also the largest independent regional airline in Australia and has been recognised by experts all over the globe as the world’s best regional airline. AAPA has a proven ability to train high quality commercial pilots from ab-initio to airline standard CPL with a large percentage of its graduate pilots progressing directly to First Officers on Rex's fleet of Saab 340 aircraft. At AAPA’s AUD 20 million dollar brand new state-of-the-art campus, you not only learn to fly in the most modern of flight simulators and brand new training aircraft equipped with glass cockpits, you are also immersed in a total aviation environment as the academy is situated close by the Wagga Wagga airport terminal and Rex Airline's heavy maintenance base.
