The St. Catharines Flying Club is a Certified Flight Training Unit registered with Transport Canada and is one of the oldest flying clubs in Canada; having formed the club in May 1928 and having received our charter in May 1929 with a DeHavilland DH60M Metal Moth marked CF-CAW as our first trainer.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the best possible flight training at the lowest possible cost for almost 90 years.
We also do charters and sightseeing tours. See all the sights of Niagara from a bird’s view in one of our Club airplanes.
Now with multiple locations in the Niagara Region, the St. Catharines Flying Club is actively expanding as we invest into the latest technology to help serve our student pilots to make flight training more convenient and more efficient.
