Testimonials

Harry Kiy

AFTA is a premier flight school that delivers world-class flight training using a modern fleet of training aircraft and simulators. It has a team of friendly, helpful and highly experienced professionals. As an AFTA student you’ll gain valuable experience flying in Ireland’s dynamic and challenging weather conditions, advancing your skills and confidence.

I had a wonderful time with AFTA and made some great friends along the way. Their Ryanair Mentored APS MCC course was exceptional and gave me real-world insights from experienced Ryanair pilots. Additionally, AFTA’s outstanding Graduate Development Programme thoroughly prepared me for my Ryanair Pilot Assessment.
I’d highly recommend AFTA to any aspiring pilot pursuing a career in the aviation industry.

Training at an international airport in Southern Ireland can also give you some valuable conditions and instrument training to take forward in the future. Finally the APS MCC paired with the graduate programme gives you the best possible foundation to walk into the headquarters of an airline full of confidence for your interview.

I joined AFTA in August 2023 after my previous flight school went into administration, leaving me without a clear path to continue my training. AFTA stepped in and developed a tailored plan to get me back on track. I completed the course faster than expected and was treated with respect throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend AFTA to any aspiring pilot. Additionally, I participated in their Graduate Development Programme, which thoroughly prepared me for an airline assessment.
