What is the meaning of Skyfarer?

It embodies a spirit of adventure and discovery in the realm of aviation. We envision channeling this spirit into our offerings. Learning to fly is not just about mastering the mechanics of flight, but also about embracing the broader journey of exploration and personal growth that comes with viewing the world from above and learning from expert flight instructors.
We strive to create an environment where expert instructors not only pass on their knowledge but also serve as mentors and inspirations.
