Select Aviation

Select Aviation was co-founded by Daniel Cyr and Patrick Richardson in 2012. Select Aviation College is located at the Gatineau/Ottawa Executive Airport in the National Capital Region of Canada. With a population of over 1.5 million, this region attracts thousands of students from Canada and around the world each year. Our mission is to provide airlines with a new generation of industry-ready pilots right out of school. Fly with our qualified instructors in one of our 35 training aircraft, facing the four Canadian seasons.

Our team of mechanics, instructors, flight dispatchers, linemen and operations personnel have a lot of fun doing what they do. Passion is the energy that drives the team to ensure the safety of our aircraft, our passengers and the skies around us.

Medical insurance

A turnkey solution for your healthcare needs

All international students in Quebec are required to have medical and hospitalization insurance.

Medical costs in the event of any illness (or accident) in Canada can be extremely high. Please obtain private insurance that is appropriate for students enrolled in a flight training program. This insurance is usually valid for 12 months. Moreover, please renew your insurance no more than one month in advance before it expires.
