Kenya School of Flying

Kenya School of Flying is a specialised vocational training organisation providing ab initio and advanced flight instruction. Situated in the service tier of the East African aerospace sector, it operates as an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) responsible for developing the regional pipeline of commercial and private pilots. The school provides the technical foundation required for entry into scheduled airline operations, general aviation, and charter services. Training is conducted across multiple bases, including Wilson Airport in Nairobi and dedicated facilities at Orly Airpark and Malindi. The fleet consists of single and multi-engine light aircraft, including Cessna 150, 152, 172, and Seneca variants. The school produces flight crew for domestic and regional carriers within the East African Community, maintaining regulatory alignment with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to ensure certification standards meet international safety requirements. Prospective partners or students should verify the current validity of KCAA certifications for specific courses, including Instrument Ratings and Multi-Engine endorsements. Evaluation should also confirm the serviceability of the trainer fleet and the availability of flight simulation training devices. Verification of the institution's status regarding foreign student visas and the transferability of hours to other national aviation jurisdictions is recommended before enrolment.
