Business booms for Flight Training Adelaide

The Hong Kong based Flight Training Group – part of Young Brothers Aviation – has committed itself to a global pilot training role in Australia, moving to add a Queensland residential college to its Adelaide facility as it aims to produce about 400 airline pilots a year.

The plans include an investment of more than $20 million for a purpose built college at Maryborough in Queensland with an initial fleet of 10 single-engined aircraft worth about $5 million and an eventual fleet of about 40 aircraft.
