Royal Queensland Aero Club

Welcome to Australia’s Original Aero Club.

Founded in 1910, RQAC is the oldest aero club in the Southern Hemisphere. Today, we support private and commercial pilots’ journeys through social events, flying competitions and partnerships with local businesses. Anyone with a passion for aviation is welcome to join!

We host regular events from our clubhouse, located at Building 16 Qantas Avenue, Archerfield Airport, near the main terminal. You can find information on our activities, membership, aircraft and committee on this website.

Have any questions? Feel free to visit during one of our club events, or contact us for further information.
