Par Avion Flight Training is a division of Par Avion (Airlines of Tasmania Pty Ltd) – Tasmania’s largest aviation company.
Founded over 40 years ago, Par Avion is Tasmania’s premier aviation business, with well-established airline, charter, scenic tour and flight school operations. We carry passengers, tourists, bushwalkers, freight and students to all points of Tasmania and beyond in a fleet of over 20 modern aircraft.
We own and operate Cambridge Aerodrome, Hobart’s general aviation airport.
