We're taking the lead.

Welcome to modern flight training with a focus on sustainability and innovation.

Our Training

Our unique airline transport pilot course makes sustainability the front and centre. The first 30% of your training will be conducted in electrically driven aeroplanes. The remainder will be flown in efficient kerosene-driven single and multi-engine aeroplanes. We currently offer the most environmentally friendly way of becoming a professional pilot.

In addition to the sustainability aspect, our flight training also focuses on personal development, responsibility, self-discipline, teamwork and leadership.

Our training is organized into several phases that progressively enhance the student’s skills. We begin with a phase that combines theoretical reading with practical flying, ensuring that the student gains a solid understanding of the fundamentals before starting the first block of ATPL theory.

We fly in all seasons, the majority of flying takes place during the summer months but you will also learn to fly in winter conditions which will deepen your skills as a pilot.

Our mission

We love aviation and we love to fly. Air travel is the interface between cultures, people and places. For us to maintain this fantastic gateway to the outside world it must transition to a sustainable model. This is the future Green Flight Academy is working towards.

Our green mindset

We are committed to innovation, new technologies and sustainability, and we are pioneers in a highly regulated and traditional industry. Within our concept of ‘a green mindset’, we also focus on people’s attitudes. We recognize that cultural and organizational conditions are crucial for applying new technologies in a commercially sustainable way.

Our vision

To be the world leader in sustainable flight training for commercial pilots.

Our values

Our core values is Consideration, Innovation and Openness.

Consideration for the future and with respect for the changes that need to be made to reduce emissions of flight training. Our concern also extends to the student. We want our students to be and feel safe with a comfortable and rewarding stay in Skellefteå. Therefore, we attach great importance to taking care of our students before and when they arrive in here, from arranged accommodation to a solid on-boarding program.

Innovation by using technology that reduces the environmental impact of our flight training. But innovation is also about constantly challenging ourselves to consider novel ideas and make education better and not limit ourselves to traditional patterns.

Openness
 means that we want to be open when it comes to our process; ups and downs, mistakes and successes. We believe that openness is crucial in a safety culture but also an important key for improvement. We are implementing a feedback culture with our students and staff early on in training to help us improve.
