History[]

ALIAC was founded in 1982 by Captain Geronimo Amurao, a Philippine Airlines pilot, when he established a small flying school which he called the "Amurao Flying School". In 1984, this small aviation school grew to become the "Air Link International Aviation School" under the stewardship of Capt. Amurao, with the help of his wife, Dr. Myrna Tan Vallecer-Amurao. In April 2003, its name was amended to "Air Link International Aviation College". In 2017, Atty. Gomeriano V. Amurao became the new Managing Chairman and President of ALIAC.[2][3]

Academic programs[]

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) recognize ALIAC's academic programs. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) certifies that ALIAC is an Approve Training Organization for Flight Training and Aircraft Maintenance. Aircraft frames and power plants are available for ALIAC students to work on, dismantle and assemble in the laboratories under the direct supervision of duly licensed personnel.
