Our Team
The Best in the Business
The Sunshine Coast Aero Club is the focal point for recreational flying in SE Queensland and is the only ‘not for profit’ RAAus and CASA approved Flight Training Facility on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast. The Club was first established in 1959. Since then both the airport and the club have grown substantially.
“Amazing organisation to work for and provides an amazing place to be included in the aviation community”
