Fujairah Aviation Academy

Fujairah Aviation Academy (FAA) formerly known as Fujairah Aviation Centre was originally founded in 1986 making it the oldest Aviation Academy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Fujairah itself enjoys an outstanding climate coupled with its own airport facilities, allowing unequalled access and operational conditions for flight training. Over the first twenty years Fujairah has provided professional aviation education for students requiring the Private Pilots License (PPL) and the Commercial Pilots License (CPL). With the emergence of the UAE as a world class business centre bringing innovation, expertise and technology to the region, we enter into our third decade being proud to introduce an Academy of Aviation Excellence in the form of the first dedicated Airline Transport Pilots License (ATPL) School in the Middle East.

All of the Fujairah Aviation Academy’s (FAA) courses are approved by the UAE GCAA, and upon successful completion, result in the issue of a UAE licence. The UAE is a member of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Licences issued by the UAE are convertible to the licences of other ICAO states, subject to their civil aviation regulations.
