About Us

Bunbury Flying School is the flight training division of Southern Aviation located at Bunbury airport in the Scenic Southwest of Western Australia. The school has been in operation for over 20 years offering Commercial, Private and Recreational Pilot courses. The founder of BFS aspired to establish a flight school where students are taught to be safe, skilled and proficient pilots, whilst also receiving value for money.

We are focussed on delivering high quality Aviation Courses which are CASA Approved and Industry recognised. We have a team of passionate and experienced Career Instructors to support and guide students through the duration of their course.

We operate 6 days a week (Monday - Saturday) offering our students flexibility whilst learning to fly.
