Southern Wings Invercargill
Southern Wings was born and bred in Southland. We have operated out of Invercargill since 1935 and it continues to be our flagship base. Training in Southland offers the unique advantage of long daylight hours, uncluttered airspace and mountain flying. With Invercargill’s proximity to the sea and the Southern Alps, it enjoys a variety of weather, (a good pilot needs to gain experience in all weather).
Invercargill and the surrounding region provides this experience. Invercargill boasts a lower cost of living without compromising lifestyle, if you love no traffic, getting to the airport in 5 minutes, hunting, fishing, skiing and sports in general, then this is your place.
Southern Wings offers professional pilot training for a wide range of students. From pilots preparing for an airline career, mountain flying, and instructor ratings through to private or commercial pilot licensing, Southern Wings is known for its ability to deliver superior quality pilots who are well equipped to deal with the changing demands of the aviation industry.
Committed to excellence the Southern Wings aviation training school is fully equipped with a well-maintained fleet of fixed-wing aircraft suitable for all training purposes. Simulators are also available in both the Invercargill and Auckland bases along with comfortable teaching facilities.
