The Basics.
Right back to the beginning…
In 1903, the Wright Brothers made the first heavier-than-air powered aircraft flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
120 years later, aviation is a multi-faceted industry - in 2019, 4.56 billion passengers were carried by air transport
Whether you just want to fly for a hobby, or pursue commercial flying for airlines, DeliverAviation can provide guidance for you
See the world differently…

Flying is brilliant fun and isn’t just for commercial pilots.
If you’re an aviation enthusiast, or just like being above the hustle and bustle of life, flying for a hobby can be a great option to pursue.

One Step Further
Of course, if you want to take it further, the commercial route allows pilots to fly for renumeration and for airlines for ‘air transport’.
There are multiple routes to take people from ‘zero-hours’ i.e no flying experience up to airline ready cadets, or alternatively you can work your way through the required sections on your own pace if you already have a PPL - we explore these options in detail around the site.
A Licenced World…
Aviation is a safety driven industry - everything that is conducted is started from the first principle of safety first!
As such, it is heavily licenced and regulated by organisations both in individual countries and around the world - this applies to all in the sector, including those just wishing to conduct hobby flying. You must obtain a flying licence, following a successful training course and passing a skills tests. You must then keep current and revalidate your ratings to ensure you are continuing to fly safely.
