Phoenix Aviation is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and was formally incorporated in 1989 by its founder Captain John W. M. Barnes. John Sr. retired from Canadian Airlines in 1992 where he was a check pilot on the DC10 and B737 and instructor on the B744. Previous to commercial aviation, he was a flight instructor in the RAF on the AVRO Vulcan. He passed away November 2018 as the company approached its 30th year.

Our staff includes qualified airline instructors and check pilots. Their combined experience allows the operator the advantage of having services tailor-made for their specific operation. Training may be located at any base that suits the operator's needs.
