Flying schools in Hyderabad
The regulator bases four approved flying training organisations in Hyderabad, three of them at Begumpet and one at Nadergul.
Approved to train in Hyderabad.
Categories are from DGCA's latest ranking, the 1 April 2026 edition. Bases, fleet and approval dates are transcribed from the DGCA's published list.
Every fee carries one of four labels:
- Published. Printed on the operator's or the regulator's own page.
- Reported. From a brochure, an aggregator or a cadet.
- Estimated. Built up from parts.
- Undisclosed. No public number exists.
Hyderabad
What sets the four apart.
- Three of the four fly from Begumpet, a working city airport. Their circuits share airspace with business jets and turboprop traffic. Flytech flies from the Nadergul aerodrome, which is quieter and further out.
- ARCA is the newest approval on the regulator's whole list. Its fee page prints a total, the stage payments and what falls outside it.
- Wings Aviation holds the largest fleet in the city. Its own fee policy says fee details are provided on enquiry, not published.
- Flytech's published commercial licence curriculum is two hundred hours on single engine aircraft, with no multi engine hours in it. The regulator's list shows it holding no multi engine aircraft at all. You buy the multi engine hours you still need somewhere else.
- The Telangana State Aviation Academy's circulating figure is the lowest here by a wide margin. It comes from listing sites, not from the academy, so it carries the Reported label.
- Flytech Aviation Academy also flies from Nagarjuna Sagar Airfield in Andhra Pradesh, so ask which field your hours will be flown at before you pay.
Common questions.
How many DGCA approved flying schools are there in Hyderabad?
Four, on the regulator's list as on 3 October 2026: ARCA Global Aviation, Flytech Aviation Academy, the Telangana State Aviation Academy and Wings Aviation. Three of them fly from Begumpet, the city airport. Flytech flies from Nadergul, a separate aerodrome on the south east edge of the city. That is the whole list. Any other Hyderabad name you are shown is a ground school, an agent for a school that flies somewhere else, or a cabin crew institute.
Is the Telangana State Aviation Academy cheaper than the private schools in Hyderabad?
The figure that circulates for the state academy is well under half the figure ARCA publishes, and that gap is real. It does not tell you how long you will wait for an aeroplane. A state academy prices the flying and does not promise the slot, so you pay for the lower rate in time. Waiting is what turns an eighteen month course into a three year one. The state academy's number also comes from listing sites, not from the academy, which is a weaker source than any of the private figures on this page.
Can I train in Hyderabad while living at home?
At Begumpet you can. It is a working airport inside the city, so if you already live in Hyderabad you take accommodation and food out of your total, the two costs a school never quotes you. Nadergul is further out, but still a daily commute. What you take on is traffic. An urban airport means real airspace and real delays from your first hours, which is good training and slow flying.
