Who We Are

Meriden Aviation Center is a centrally located Connecticut flight school serving, Meriden, Cheshire, Wallingford, Middlefield, Middletown area and beyond. Come to us for all your training needs, including complex endorsements.

We are more than willing to spend time with you to answer your questions, take you out to the flight line to let you look at the planes and climb into the cockpit, show you the equipment and answer all of your "what does this do" questions!

Use our Discovery Flight to see if you "mesh" with your instructor's style, and if we have a student scheduled, come watch us preflight, and spend more time when we return.

Or celebrate a birthday, anniversary, retirement at 3000 feet! We'll make your celebration even more memorable! And what a place to pop the question to that special someone!

The only way to truly tell if you want to learn to fly is to get up there and fly an airplane. Book an intro flight with Meriden Aviation Center today to get started.
