About Karros
One base. Two commercial fronts. A single technical standard.
Karros Aviation was founded to close the gap between how aircraft are leased and how pilots are trained — by running both from the same Victorian operation.

Our Story
Australia needs more pilots. We're building the standard to train them.
Too many aircraft leases and training operations run on records the customer never sees. Karros is being built the other way round: one register, one reserve calculation, one compliance calendar, open to anyone who leases or learns on our aircraft.
Australia needs more pilots, and the shortfall is felt most in regional operations, where training capacity, aircraft availability and instructor numbers haven’t kept pace. We’re building a fleet and an academy in Victoria to help close that gap, subject to CASA approval.
What We Value
Four things we won't trade away.
Precision
Every figure we publish — hours, reserves, dispatch rates — is one we can substantiate.
Integrity
Lease and course pricing is fixed and published. No reserve surprises, no hidden resit fees.
Access
A single Victoria base keeps leasing, training and maintenance under one operational roof.
Safety
Safety management sits above commercial pressure in every operational decision we make.
