History
editAurès Aviation was created in 2000, under approval number 001 issued by the Directorate of Civil Aviation and Meteorology (DACM),[6] by Abdelmajid Louai. It is the first professional flight school in the private sector in Algeria.[7]
During the first 10 years after its creation, the school was subject to a boycott by the Algerian state, which opted for foreign schools.[6] In 2010, the Algerian Minister of Transport, Amar Tou, decided to train the pilots of Algerian commercial airlines within Aurès Aviation.[8][4] In the same year, the companies Tassili Airlines[8][4][9] and Air Algérie[10][8] signed a contract with the school for the training of their pilots.

editThe headquarters of Aurès Aviation is located in Kechida, with courses taught in the industrial zone of the city.[11]

editAurès Aviation has its own residence to accommodate all its students.[11] The hangars for the aircraft are rented from the management of the Batna Airport.[6] The Aurès Aviation fleet consists of ten aircraft, including Piper PA-38, Piper Arrow PA-28, Cessna 150, and Cessna 340.[7] Aurès Aviation has the first ALX flight simulator in Algeria, delivered at the end of March 2010[12] as well as a helicopter simulator.
