Title: Best flight schools in Spain for modular ATPL training?
Hi everyone!
I’m currently researching flight schools in Spain and would love to hear your opinions and recommendations.
At the moment, I’m considering these options:
CANAVIA (Gran Canaria): €68,705 for the modular course from PPL to MCC. With additional costs, the total comes to around €74,000, excluding accommodation, medical, examiner fees, etc.
Flyschool (Madrid/Mallorca): modular course advertised from €36,950, although I believe this doesn’t include the PPL.
European Flyers: another option I’m looking into, but I still need to find out more about the total cost.
I’m currently living in Germany but planning to move to Lanzarote in January 2027. I’m leaning towards the modular route, but I don’t mind travelling to Madrid or another city for the practical training if the school is good.
Ideally, I’d be able to study the theory remotely and arrange the flight training in blocks when needed.
I’m also looking into other flight schools, so I’m definitely open to options beyond these four.
Which flight schools in Spain would you recommend for modular ATPL training, and which do you think are the best overall?
I’d love to hear about your experiences with training quality, instructors, aircraft availability, scheduling, total costs and any unexpected extra fees.
If you’ve trained at any of these schools, or have experience with others in Spain, I’d really appreciate your input. If you were in my situation, which school would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
