About SkyCatcher
Our Mission
At SkyCatcher, our mission is to empower pilots and aviation enthusiasts by simplifying flight training, enhancing flight planning, and providing seamless logistical support. We aim to create a connected aviation community where pilots can easily access training opportunities, find the right aircraft, and receive expert guidance to make every flight safer and more enjoyable. Our goal is to make flying more accessible, efficient, and stress-free for pilots across Australia.
Our commitment is to build a platform that brings people and flying schools together, to make aviation dreams a reality, and ensure that the wonder of flight is within reach for everyone.
Our Journey
SkyCatcher was founded with a clear vision: to simplify and enhance the private flying experience. As student pilots, we recognised the challenges of flight planning, training, and logistics — from navigating complex regulations to coordinating ground services and finding the right training options. We knew there had to be a better way.
Our journey began with a simple idea — to make private flying more accessible and stress-free for pilots. We spoke with countless pilots and flying schools, learning about the obstacles they faced, from finding reliable training packages to managing complex flight logistics. The need for a centralised platform that could streamline the entire process became clear.
What started as a project to support fellow pilots with flight planning quickly grew into a broader platform designed to support the entire private aviation community. We built SkyCatcher to connect pilots with top-tier flight training providers, simplify aircraft hire, and offer a concierge service for seamless flight planning and logistics. By partnering with leading flying schools, FBOs, and aviation service providers, we’ve created a network that allows pilots to focus on what they love most — flying.
Our growth has been driven by a deep understanding of the aviation industry and a commitment to improving the pilot experience.
We’ve designed SkyCatcher to be more than just a service — it’s a trusted partner for pilots looking to fly smarter, safer, and with greater confidence. Whether it’s finding the right training package, planning a complex route, or arranging ground transportation, SkyCatcher is here to make every flight smoother and more enjoyable.
Today, SkyCatcher is more than a business — it's a community built by pilots, for pilots. As we continue to grow and evolve, our focus remains the same: empowering pilots with the tools, support, and confidence they need to take to the skies.
