Covid-19 Update

As per the latest state government COVID lock down rules, we are temporarily suspending lessons and joy flights from Friday 16th until Tuesday the 20th of July inclusive and we expect to re-open on Wednesday, subject of course, to any further details announced by the State Government.

We'll switch over to lock down mode again, and will run Study Group over Zoom on Monday night and we will update you on any changes as we become aware of them.  Any scheduled lessons or flights will be rescheduled, please be patient as we have a lot of people to contact!

The airport itself will remain open as it's classed as an essential service and charter operations for essential purposes will continue.  Masks are mandatory if you are attending the airport for any reason. Please help our office staff by remembering to bring and wear them.

We will let you know more as we know more.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding,

Jono and the staff at the Lilydale Flying School.
