Both AAPA and AAPA Victoria are wholly owned by Regional Express (REX), the largest independent regional airline in Australia and as such have ingrained airline operating philosophies. The Academy’s curriculums, training and procedures are specifically designed to meet the high standards and stringent criteria of international airlines and civil aviation regulators for Commercial and Air Transport pilots. Consequently, all AAPA graduates can be assured that they will be trained to meet the highest standards demanded by airline operators.
