The Cabair London School of Flying in Elstree did shut abruptly yesterday. I was the last student to land. When I took off, the school was supposed to close by the end of october, and when I landed it was done. The AFISO had me taxi straight to maintenance hangar. I left with my student file under my arm.
I understand that the immediate closure might not be limited to PPL schools, i.e a larger part (all???) of Cabair might have stopped too. TBC. Any word from commercial students?
I'm somehow lucky I had just a very few flying hours left on my "PPL package" and that I was done with exams, as I'm not really betting on seeing my money again. We had learnt recently that Cabair PPL schools would stop, and I was joking that I would never do my CPL with them (if I ever do it, that is); sounds like I might not even have a choice in the matter anymore...
