A message from Anthony Petteford, Co-Founder & Director The Vision In the summer of 2025, my business partner John and I set out with a clear ambition to launch a new kind of UK airline pilot training organisation (ATO). Our aim was not simply to establish another ATO, but to create one committed to truly supporting aspiring pilots using MODULAR regulations to gain a 'frozen ATPL'. Our mission was also to 'Level Up' the pilot training experience, delivering excellent instruct

To celebrate OAT’s commitment to Modular APS MCC as a competency-based industry standard, we are promoting B737NG and A320 APS MCC courses: £5,700 (inc VAT) – a significant saving of £1,200 compared to our regular Modular APS MCC fee of £6,900 (inc VAT). Nearly a decade ago, the aviation regulator introduced Multi-Crew Co-operation to Airline Pilot Standards, APS MCC, as a Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) programme. This ground-breaking course was created to ra

Both inspiring and 'levelling-up' future opportunities for UK aviation professionals, is a core mission of Oxford Airline Training . Today, we welcomed 32 undergraduate students and their 2 course leaders from the University of the West of England (UWE). Reading for a BEng(Hons) in Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies, UWE graduates earn their degree with aviation industry-focused insight and skills development; enabling them to become more informed aerospace engineer

Yesterday, the Oxford Airline team had the honour to host the 59th alumni reunion of BA1 - who completed their training at the Oxford Air Training School (OATS) from 1967-1968.

This particular '509' course was significant and pioneering - being the first sponsored course that comprised 25-cadets from both BOAC and BEA as a 'Joint Airways' scheme at OATS alongside the renowned COAT Hamble (Southampton) c

On Saturday 14th March, we opened the doors to Hangar 7 for our very first Discovery Day — and what a day it was. Families, aspiring pilots, and aviation enthusiasts came together at our training centre at London Oxford Airport to get a real taste of what commercial pilot training looks like. For many, it was their first time stepping inside a professional flight training facility, and the reactions didn't disappoint. A Warm Welcome The day ran across two sessions - morning

And so there we have it folks - a month ahead of plan, we've now inaugurated our splendid new Oxford Airline Training centre at London Oxford Airport with the commencement of our first ever APS MCC course in our B737-800 FTD. Not only was it our first course, we are also delighted to be training pilots destined for multi-pilot operations (B350 or B737) for our customer, 2Excel Aviation; for whom our sister company Triple J Aviation Engineering also maintains their DA62 speci

As we prepare to open our doors for our inaugural UK CAA training courses, there’s a mountain of exciting work to get done - and we’d love two energetic CPL/MEIR graduates to join us for the ride. We’re looking for a couple of enthusiastic, “can‑do” volunteer pilots to work closely with our totally unreasonable and annoying Director on a wide variety of really interesting activities at our new training centre at London Oxford Airport. What you’ll be getting involved i
