Aerocadet European Campus
Czech flight training facilities in Tuzla Airport offer unprecedented accommodation and transportation flexibility to all students. Students are allowed to live as a part of South-Romanian community, on the shored of the beautiful Black Sea, taking this unique opportunity to submerge themselves into the local culture and language.
About Our EU Training Partner
Our main partner for EASA flight training and licenssing in the E.U. is Regional Air Services. Established in 1998, Regional Air Services was among the first private aviation operators in Romania. In 1999, the company expanded its operations by acquiring the Utility Air Force in Tuzla, making it the first private airport in Romania. This strategic move strengthened its service portfolio by integrating airport operations with aviation services.
Spanning 36 hectares, the Tuzla Airport features two grass runways, four heliports, and a 1,200 sqm hangar, along with comprehensive infrastructure to support flight operations and training. The facility includes three administrative buildings—two existing structures (A & B) and a newly constructed instructional center (C), which houses a flight school and a sea survival training school. The airport is equipped with a Boeing 737-300 ground training simulator, a fire training simulator for firefighting and self-rescue drills, an FNPT II flight simulator, and a fuel storage facility with a 200,000-liter capacity, with an additional fuel storage unit currently under construction. The airport also features dedicated annexes, a car park, and aircraft parking areas, further enhancing its operational capabilities.
Regional Air Services, when integrated with Aerocadet's fully comprehensive flight training and internship programs, offers unprecedented valus for money: student are able to achive restricted EASA/ICAO ATPL (Frozen) and FI license under $61,000 USD, with the guaranteed propeller hour-building employment, and additional unrestricted FAA/ICAO ATPL certification with a full type-rating for another $18500 USD with the guaranteed jet hour-building employment.
Accommodation Options and Student Life
The campus is strategically located on the picturesque shore of the Black Sea, in a vibrant tourist area renowned for its stunning coastal views and relaxed atmosphere. This location not only provides an inspiring setting for flight training but also offers one of the lowest costs of living in the European Union, making it an ideal and cost-effective destination for aspiring pilots. Students are accommodated in a dedicated student hotel, designed to replicate the western-style campus experience, where two pilots typically share a comfortable, fully-furnished room. Accommodation is conveniently included in the cost of the FPAP-EU program, with an estimated value of $375 USD per month, ensuring that students can focus on their training without financial strain. The hotel offers direct access to the beach, allowing pilots to unwind and recharge after intensive training sessions. Additionally, it boasts state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a swimming pool, a well-stocked bar, and multiple relaxation areas, creating a perfect balance between professional training and a fulfilling student lifestyle. This unique coastal location not only enhances the overall student experience but also provides a highly motivating environment for future airline pilots, combining top-tier flight training with an exceptional quality of life.
