Tasair Managers
Tasair is a family
business which adds to the small, supportive environment created by
the professional instructing team.

Managing Director,
George Ashwood (JP, BA, Dip. Pub. Admin.) has managed Tasair
for the past 16 years and as a pilot himself has a broad understanding
of the needs of students. He has created a solid business that is firmly
established and one that will continue to develop and adjust to the
changing needs of both students and commercial passengers.
George is assisted
by Director, Jill Ashwood, and Administration Manager, Sarah
Ashwood, and all are available at any time for students to come
and talk to.
Every member of staff shares the same keen interest in aviation and
students in the past have found their 'open ears' and willingness to
help an element of the Tasair environment that is unequalled in other
training organisations.
