Over 3 decades ago, Alex Derly Farkas started a small flight school with just one aircraft. Alex had a passion for flying and had spent most of her time until then learning how to fly everything from hang gliders to advanced airplanes. havin gained enough experience to become a flight instructor, she felt a need to share her vast experience with others who had a passion for flying. On January 1st, 1984, Alex and her sister Yasmin created ADF Airways; it’s mission: To give students the tools they would need to succeed in the complex world of aviation.
As ADF graduates went out into the aviation world, they displayed superior knowledge and airmanship. Aviation organizations began to take notice, and through word of mouth, the number of students began increasing, as did the number of aircraft and instructors.
Today, ADF airways has a fleet of aircraft ranging from single engine basic trainers to the latest in glass cockpit technology. ADF airways are a fully certificated part 141 flight school, meeting the rigorous standards set by the US Federal Aviation Administration. We have graduated over 6,000 pilots and helped them attain well over 20,000 certificates.
Although the company has grown over the years, we still maintain the same family atmosphere we had when Alex had a plane and a mission. We strongly believe that pilots are members of an elite group, and while we have high standards, we work with all of our students to help them achieve their goals.
