Avia Aviation is a flight experience and training provider based at Moorabbin Airport in Victoria. The company specialises in hands-on Pilot Experience flights, CASA‑approved Foundations of Flight lessons, scenic Melbourne city and coastal tours, navigation training flights, and an Australia‑unique full‑motion flight simulator. Avia Aviation operates modern light aircraft including Cirrus SR20 variants and the Tecnam P‑Mentor, and offers tailored aviation experiences for first‑time flyers, aspiring pilots, photographers, and small groups.
Each experience includes pre‑flight briefings, in‑flight instruction or commentary, and post‑flight debriefs where applicable. Pilot Experience flights provide 90 minutes of practical cockpit time in selected aircraft, while Melbourne scenic flights are offered as 30‑minute tours of the city and bay. Foundations of Flight packages are CASA‑approved initial lesson series with logbook entries for training progression. The full‑motion, seven‑axis simulator allows realistic practice across multiple aircraft types and emergency scenarios in a controlled environment.
Avia Aviation also operates curated regional packages that combine scenic flying with ground experiences, such as Limestone Coast and Coonawarra wine region itineraries, including tastings and overnight stays with partner venues. Booking information, aircraft availability, and safety procedures are managed at the Moorabbin Airport base, and all flights include qualified instruction and standard safety prechecks.
Visitors can expect modern aircraft, professional pilot guidance, and a range of experiences from single scenic flights to multi‑day aviation and wine itineraries, supporting both recreational flyers and those considering formal flight training.
