The specialised publication Airline92 has included the Sabadell-based Aero Link Flight Academy in its 38th edition of the Aviation Training Centres Guide in Spain. The centre, located at the Sabadell aerodrome, offers courses ranging from cabin crew to airline transport pilot licence.
The pilot school Aero Link Flight Academy, based at the Sabadell aerodrome, has been included in the 38th edition of the Aviation Training Centres Guide in Spain recently published by the specialised magazine Airline92. The guide, which has become a reference tool for aspiring and professional individuals in the sector, lists the most prominent centres in the country, and the presence of the Vallès academy confirms its significance in the Spanish aviation training landscape.
What the Sabadell school offers
The academy, located on the Carretera de Bellaterra, in the municipality of Sabadell, offers a wide range of courses. Among them are the Cabin Crew (TCP) course, the Private Pilot Licence for Aviation and Helicopter (PPL), the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), and the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL), which is the highest licence for flying commercial airlines. It also offers the Flight Instructor (FI) course and the University Pilot programme, in collaboration with universities.
For residents of Sabadell and the Vallès Occidental, having a centre of this kind just a few minutes away presents an opportunity for training without having to travel to other provinces. The school operates from the Sabadell Aerodrome, a key infrastructure that serves general and executive aviation in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.
"The guide is a reference for anyone wanting to dedicate themselves to aviation, and the fact that Aero Link is in it speaks to the quality of its training," say sources from the aviation sector consulted.
The guide, a map of aviation training in Spain
The publication by Airline92, which this year reaches its 38th edition, includes centres from all over Spain, from large university schools to small specialised academies. Among the notable names are Adventia, the European College of Aeronautics linked to the University of Salamanca, with a fleet of 13 aircraft and 7 simulators; Aematur, in Marbella, specialised in TCP; or Aerbrava, in Girona, which offers modular training for airline pilots.
The inclusion of Aero Link Flight Academy in this select list is no coincidence. The Sabadell school, which has been operating for years at the local aerodrome, has been expanding its training offerings and has instructors with experience in airlines and a fleet of its own aircraft. Furthermore, its location in the Vallès Occidental makes it a strategic centre for students from across the province of Barcelona.
The profile of the student and career opportunities
According to industry data, the demand for commercial pilots remains high, especially in low-cost airlines and charter companies. The Airline Association estimates that in the coming years, thousands of new pilots will be needed in Europe to cover retirements and the growth of air traffic. This makes academies like the one in Sabadell a gateway to a job market with high employability.
The courses at Aero Link are aimed at both young people looking to start their careers and professionals seeking to retrain or specialise. The school also offers training for Security Forces and Bodies, such as the Air Force or the Civil Guard, although this is not its main niche.
For readers in the province of Barcelona, the news has a practical component: if you are considering training as a pilot or cabin crew, you have a reference centre half an hour from Barcelona city, without needing to travel to Salamanca or Marbella. And, in the process, you help keep the Sabadell aerodrome alive, a facility that often struggles for survival against urban pressure.
The complete guide can be consulted on the Airline92 website, which details the contact information, fleet, and courses of each centre. Aero Link Flight Academy, for its part, is currently accepting applications for the upcoming cohorts, which will start in the autumn months.
