Air Gold coast was established in 1968 and is the longest serving general aviation operator at Gold Coast airport. Purchased by Malcolm Long in 1988 the business has continued as an aircraft maintenance facility. In 1997 a second hangar was built to accommodate growth and larger aircraft. Malcolm’s sons Peter and Michael acquired the business and has continued its tradition of reliable and efficient service.


Today 18 years later the maintenance division employs 7 highly qualified engineers and apprentices to service a large and diverse customer base.

The flying school started in 2001 when it was realised a flying school was needed on the Gold Coast with the same emphasis on reliable and efficient service. After only a few short years the school has created its own reputation producing high quality private and commercial pilots in a relaxed, friendly but professional environment. From humble beginnings the school has developed and continues to grow now employing six experienced instructors and owns and operates seven aircraft.
