Skyfarer, a marketplace connecting student pilots and aviators with flight instructors, flight schools, and aviation services, has a new feature: Aviation Events, a new category that brings the general aviation community’s calendar into one searchable place — from pancake breakfast fly-ins and chapter meetings to FAA safety seminars, air shows, and online webinars.
Aviation has always run on events — but finding them has meant checking a half-dozen association calendars, club newsletters, and online groups, according to Skyfarer officials. Aviation Events launches with thousands of events across the U.S., curated from public aviation calendars — including FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) listings and chapter events nationwide — alongside events posted directly by organizers on Skyfarer.
“We built Skyfarer to help people become pilots — but many stop flying within a few years of earning their certificate. It’s not because they lost the love of it; it’s because they run out of reasons to go to the airport — no place to fly, nothing happening nearby,” said Nick Tsang, founder and CEO of Skyfarer. “Aviation Events is our answer. Whether it’s a fly-in two airports over, a WINGS seminar, or a chapter pancake breakfast, there’s always a reason to fly — and now one place to find it.”
For Pilots
- Events near you, at a glance. An interactive map pairs with a month-at-a-glance calendar showing which days have events, with the soonest events always listed first.
- Search that fits the mission. Results filter by event type — air shows, fly-ins, pancake breakfasts, chapter meetings, seminars, FAA WINGS safety events, webinars, networking, and more — plus date range, keyword, and location, directly from the Skyfarer homepage.
- Online events included. Webinars and virtual seminars appear in results regardless of location, with a single toggle to focus on in-person events only.
- Events can be added to Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars in one click, and saved to favorites from search results, the map, or the listing itself.
- Details for interested pilots. Every listing shows the schedule with time zone, venue and address, the event’s website, and more.
For Organizers and Hosts
- Free listings, published in minutes. Any organizer — from a two-person chapter to a national association — can post an event at no cost, set an in-person or online format, and go live the same day.
- Reach beyond the newsletter. Listed events appear in location and date searches, on the map, in nearby-event suggestions, and in Skyfarer’s homepage search — in front of an audience already looking for places to fly.
- Built for online events too. Online events carry a clear “Online event” badge, with the option to keep meeting links private until a booking is confirmed.
- Aviation Events is designed mobile-first, from homepage search to listing pages, so pilots can find this weekend’s fly-in from the ramp.
Event registration and ticketing directly through Skyfarer is coming soon, company officials added.
