Karachi Aero Club

The Karachi Aero Club (G) Limited was established on the 28th of July 1928 and is the subcontinent’s first flying institution.

The Karachi Aero Club offers flight and ground instruction courses for Private Pilot’s Licenses, Commercial Pilot’s Licenses, Instrument Ratings, Multi-Engine Ratings and Flight Instructor Ratings. It was formed by an association of person’s whose common goal was the instruct the members of the club and others in the art of flying and the science of aeronautics. Ever since it’s inception it has wo

rked ceaselessly towards the promotion of all branches of aviation and has established itself as a center of information and advice on all matters pertaining to aeronautics. Until the 1960’s the Karachi Aero Club had been operating from a purpose built site in what is now known as Gulshan-e-Iqbal, with it’s own runway and hangar facilities. In addition to flight training and charter services the club provided other sporting facilities such as a golf course, horse riding school and s***t shooting range. It was regarded as one of the most prestigious institutions in the country as evidenced by its members which comprised of almost all the elite families in Pakistan, senior government functionaries, foreign attaches and senior executives of multinational companies. Many of these members owned their own aircraft which were maintained and serviced by the club. In the 1960’s the club was obliged to surrender its land for a greater national cause and moved its flight operations to the BOAC steel hangar and apron facilities at Karachi Airport. Hangar No. 301 was appointed to the Karachi Aero Club as an Engineering facility, and is still our base of operations till this day. The clubhouse is still owned and maintained at it’s original site in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and is used as a recreational facility by members. The Karachi Aero Club has trained scores of Pilots and Engineers who have gone on to have successful careers within the national flag carrier and numerous private airlines both foreign and domestic. It also has to it’s credit, the basic flying training of Pakistan Air Force pilots in it’s days of infancy. Some of the officers trained by the club rose to the highest ranks in the Pakistan Air Force. The Karachi Aero Club was also responsible for training pilots for the Army and Navy aviation wings until the 1980’s. As part of it’s training program the club also conducts renewal checkrides for Private, Commercial and Instrument Rating’s as well as practical training for future aircraft engineers. While attending our club you will undergo world-class instruction so you get the most up-to-date aviation education available. Your experience at the Karachi Aero Club will include both in-flight training and ground school where you will learn about the fundamentals of flight, emergency operations, CAA regulations, aviation weather and more flying essentials. We presently operate a mixed fleet of Cessna and Diamond training aircraft; Cessna 150, Cessna 152 and Cessna 172 and a Diamond DA-40-D. If you are ready to begin fulfilling your dream of becoming a pilot contact the Karachi Aero Club today! We will be happy to accommodate your schedule and create a flight training program which works for you!
