Club 1712, reserved exclusively for the cognoscenti, is named to commemorate the 17th of December, 1903, the day when mankind witnessed the first sustained flight by a manned, heavier-than-air, powered and controlled aircraft, the Wright Flyer. The craft, invented, designed and piloted by Orville and Wilbur Wright, ushered in the era of aviation.

Club 1712, however, celebrates this date for a different reason. To the founders and members of the club, 1712 marks the day when mankind finally found the freedom to soar through the skies.

Alone.

In stark contrast to commercial flights, or travel by air, that is commonplace today, Club 1712 is a commemoration of that specific ability that allows a human being to take to the skies, at will, unaided by any other person. It is a commemoration of Freedom.

Access to the club is granted on enrollment, but full membership only kicks in with the acquisition of a private pilot's license, and so, what is common among all the members of the Club may be the ability to pilot an aircraft, but the bond the members share is built on their common desire for freedom and the unfettered ability to travel, between the sun and the earth, based solely on the power of their will.

Club 1712 is a part of the CAD group, an agglomeration of companies that specialises in every pertinent aspect of aviation. CAD carries tremendous expertise in the arenas of Aviation consultancy, Air charter, Aviation infrastructure development and even Luxury and Business Travel.

So, the creation of the training program for a private pilot's license and the concept of a club for these elite pilots is not just a natural extension for the Group, it is also the perfect way to "fill out the basket" as it were, and to make complete the Group's repertoire.

While it is obvious that the Group's cumulative experience and staggering expertise is what powers this venture, the point that is sometimes missed by many is that our all-encompassing vision has not only foreseen every conceivable hiccup but also adjusted for it, and that the interplay of information over various Group departments has put together a program that is as flexible as it is comprehensive.

But, don't just take our word for it, try us out. For both, the core deliverable and the augmented offering, the sky's the limit.
