About Horizon International Flight Academy
Set within the boundary of Al Ain International Airport and purpose built for flight training, Horizon International Flight Academy has set the benchmark for pilot training in the Middle East, and indeed the market. The complex comprises hangars, classrooms, briefing rooms, library, office complex and internal IT systems for computer and internet based training.
The all year round sunny skies and weather conditions in Al Ain offer fewer days lost due to poor weather and the terrain has the additional benefit of presenting many opportunities for limited power scenarios, mountain flying, and desert training conditions.
We deliver unequalled flight training, offering both Fixed Wing and Helicopter Pilot Courses. Our staff and students remain focused on achieving the best results possible and therefore gain the best possible advantages for employment as a pilot.
