Hand us the training.
You do the hiring.

Forty-six years of ab initio training. CAAP 84-11. Zero training accidents. Your next First Officer is already at Hangar 11 — we deliver airline-ready pilots, you sign their first uniform.

Your airline doesn't need another flight school brochure. You need a pipeline you can rely on — cadets who arrive at Type Rating already fluent in Class-C ATC, SOP discipline, and dispatch culture. That has been Hangar 11's entire business since 1980.

/ Why airlines outsource training

Ab-initio training
is the most expensive HR program
you don't want to run.

660000+
New pilots needed worldwide · 2025–2044

Boeing's latest Pilot & Technician Outlook (published 2025). The commercial fleet almost doubles this decade. Airlines with a contracted ab-initio source sit on one side of that curve — the rest compete for the shrinking pool.

62000+
In our backyard · Southeast Asia

62,000 of those pilots are needed in Southeast Asia alone — the region Continental Aero has trained in since 1980. Your next First Officer is geographically 30 minutes from our Hangar 11, not an ocean away.

3×↑
Growth multiplier · SE + S. Asia

Boeing flags only two regions where pilot demand triples by 2044: Southeast Asia and South Asia. CAFS operates in the first and expands into the second. Airlines who lock partnerships here now fix their supply chain before the wave.

0
Training accidents · CAFS since 1980

Your insurance underwriter notices every line-training incident. Partnering with a 46-year zero-accident ATO is the only supply-side action that also reduces operational risk.

/ The Handoff

What your airline receives,
not what the cadet learns.

A CAFS graduate arriving at your Type Rating room is not a candidate you need to re-train. This is the spec sheet you hand to your Director of Flight Ops.

We don't post partnership clauses on a marketing page — our partners wouldn't sign if we did. What we publish are the names of active relationships. Specifics are disclosed only inside a signed NDA, airline HR to airline HR.

Partnership · Your airline

Your airline — next signatory.

We sign a limited number of airline MOUs. A partnership brief is available on request — it covers cohort sizing, hiring cadence, records access, and commercial terms, shared with your HR team under mutual confidentiality.

Request a partnership brief

Confidentiality by policy. CAFS does not publish MOU clauses, exclusivity terms, interview mechanisms, pricing, or cadet assessment data on public channels. Airline partners who sign with us do so because we protect the partnership. Expect the same.

/ Why Hire a CAFS Grad

A logbook
that reads like
line-flying.

Most flight school graduates spend their first six months adjusting to airline ops. CAFS graduates have already trained inside the operational reality airlines run on.

"By CPL checkride, the airline interview environment is already their home airport."

01

Class-C airspace from day one

Standard ICAO phraseology, ATC radar separation, instrument approach traffic — all from the first walk-around. CAFS cadets do not learn airline radio after they get hired. They learn it before.

02

30+ aerodromes of real cross-country

From Tagbilaran 40nm away to Davao 270nm away — cadets log cross-country sorties to working airports, not paper waypoints. The skill set translates directly to short-haul scheduled operations.

03

SOP-disciplined training culture

Standard operating procedures, sterile cockpit discipline, callout patterns, and crew resource management — taught and enforced from PPL through CPL. Skyway Airlines and other airline partners assess candidates against a familiar standard.

04

46-year zero-training-accident culture

Risk discipline isn't a checklist — it's a hangar culture. Graduates carry the same dispatch decision-making framework into Part 121 operations.

/ Where Alumni Fly
