At Leading Edge Aviation, we’re dedicated to turning your dream of becoming a pilot into reality, providing professional, airline-focused training from our state-of-the-art campuses in Oxford and Alhama to help you launch a successful aviation career.
We believe pilot training must be innovative, data-driven and student-centred. With a focus on wellbeing and the development of our holistic Whole Pilot® training programme, we ensure that our students have access to a rich programme of support throughout their training.
The airlines trust what we deliver, which is why our graduates are held in the highest regard in the industry. Our graduates are now flying all over the world for over 20 globally renowned airlines.
Our People
Founded in 2018, our directors united with a shared vision: to build a different kind of flight training academy. One that goes beyond technical excellence and provides an accessible, innovative and inspirational environment where every student is guided to realise their full potential, not only as skilled pilots, but as confident leaders on the flight deck.
Our Senior Management team has played a vital role in turning this vision into reality, and together we have built something truly exceptional.
