Aviation Academy Austria

Aviation Academy Austria is a professional pilot training provider headquartered in Neusiedl am See, around 35 kilometres from Vienna International Airport. An EASA Approved Training Organisation, it spans the full journey from a student pilot's first flight in a single-engine aircraft to airline type ratings on full flight simulators, and produces roughly 75 professional pilot graduates each year, making it one of Austria's principal routes to the flight deck.

Training at Aviation Academy Austria

The academy runs its theoretical instruction and simulator training at the Neusiedl am See headquarters, with practical flying conducted from Wiener Neustadt East airfield south of Vienna. Its highest-profile airline connection is a cooperation with Austrian Airlines announced in 2024 around the carrier's "Beginner+" entry track, which opened a route for ab-initio candidates toward Austria's flag carrier; as with any airline scheme, applicants should confirm current intake rounds directly.

Selection at intake includes a psychological aptitude assessment alongside academic and medical checks, screening candidates for the concentration, multitasking and spatial abilities the training demands. With airline-linked places in play and a structured assessment standing between applicants and a course seat, focused practice on pilot aptitude and psychometric testing before selection day is time well spent.
