Our STORY

It all began with flying an aircraft, and in our team we have one thing in common. When we first touched the flight controls we fell in love. The feeling of freedom and joy, new perspectives and friendships, set us out on a journey for lifetime.

It took us through various paths of the aviation industry, where we gathered experience and worked hard to improve all the challenges we saw the industry facing. When we noticed that there was a paradigm shift coming, we knew that this was our path.

A path where we can share all our knowledge, continue to improve, innovate, motivate and cultivate an even stronger safety culture. On that premise, Preflight was founded in 2021 in Norway.

We have a broad experience of the Scandinavian aviation industry, and accept missions all over Europe.
