Flight school Tayside Aviation has appointed administrators.
Based at Dundee Airport, the CAA-approved centre has been giving training for 53 years, providing courses from private pilot licences to full commercial airline licences - as well as delivering the RAF Air Cadet Pilot Scheme for more than 30 years.
However, the joint administrators were advised that at the time of purchase by the existing owner in December 2021, the company had a significant liability for prepaid flying courses, the delivery of which adversely affected its ability to generate income from new sales, as man-hours and air slots were being utilised to honour legacy prepaid courses.
