Intl students boost Australian flying training

Flying training in Australia looks set to grow strongly in the com-ing year.

According to the Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics 2005 General Aviation Report, over 415,000 flight hours were attributed to flight training, representing a slight drop from 2003 (2004 data was incomplete). Despite this small drop, CASA figures show that the number of pilot licenses being issued has been on the rise over the same period.
