Moncton, New Brunswick — MFC Training, Canada’s largest professional flight school with almost a century of flight, announces today the establishment of a seasonal flight school to operate at the Goose Bay Airport beginning in the summer 2021 semester. The seasonal flight school will provide future pilots from Canada’s north with world-class training opportunities previously only available in southern domestic airspace. Interested students can attain a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), get a head start on MFC Training’s accredited integrated training program, or simply request a quick discovery flight to learn more about our program.

MFC Training is committed to offering its world-class pilot training program in Happy Valley – Goose Bay. For more information or to express your interest in the program, please visit: –  mfctraining.com/fly-yyr.

Training operations will be available in Happy Valley-Goose Bay throughout the Summer semester from May 15to September 15, 2021. Staffed by a minimum of two full-time instructors plus a supervisory instructor, the program will offer remotely delivered ground school, and access to two Diamond DA-20 aircraft.

“Aviation is essential for Canada’s northern communities. To encourage residents of the north that a career in aviation is with their reach, we are thrilled to partner with Air Borealis to bring full-service MFC Training operations to Goose Bay Airport this summer,” said Blair Springate, Vice President of Training at MFC Training. “We know that it can be particularly difficult for indigenous people to access flight training options close to home. Our hope in launching this program is that by making flight training more accessible, we can encourage the pursuit of future employment in our sector and empower a new generation of Canadian pilots representative of the markets Canadian air carriers serve.”
