A I F A (Pty) Ltd - George

AIFA started its operations at George Airport about thirty years ago under the previous name of Cape Flying Services (CFS). In April 2011 the trading name was changed to AVIC-International Flight Training Academy (Pty) Ltd or AIFA, after AVIC-International Holding Corporation became the majority shareholder in the company. Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA) is the other shareholder in this newly formed entity. AIFA receives most of its Chinese cadets from the NUAA-International Flying Academy (NAFA), a joint venture company established in China and invested by Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), AVIC International Holding Corporation (AVIC-Intl) and Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA). NUAA Flight Academy is registered in Nanjing City, JiangSu
