Airlink in Waterville, Kennebec County, United States | Aviation

Airlink was founded in 2006 by Klaus Thalinger who pursued his dream of starting a flying service to get people interested in flying, give scenic rides and connect remote places in Maine, with urban areas in the United States. Airlink operates a flight school, scenic flights and flying service out of the Waterville Lafleur Airport in Waterville, Maine, year-round. During summer months Airlink flies two Cessna 172 Seaplanes out of Great Pond Marina in Belgrade Lakes for scenic rides and seaplane lessons.
Airlink has 3 part-time Flight Instructor/ Pilots that are available for flight instruction 7 days a week, using an online scheduling system. The online scheduling makes phone calls irrelevant and lets everyone know whether the airplane is booked and at what time.
Klaus came to the United States from Austria and after obtaining a degree in Aviation at Mercer County College in NJ, went to Florida to fly air charter in the Caribbean. After gaining valuable experience flying the Caribbean Islands Klaus moved to Maine to become Director of Operations of Lake Region Air, a Seaplane Flying Service in Rangeley and came one step closer to becoming a Bush Pilot. In 2006 Klaus joined Cianbro as corporate pilot and still remains employed there while operating his Airlink flying service in Waterville, Maine.
Whether you want to fly for business, or just for the sheer thrill of soaring above the ground, it all begins with the initial training. Everyone who flies has started out right where you are now. All it takes is the motivation to get started, and the discipline to see all the way through to completion of training. Aviation is an exciting activity that takes less time and money than you think.
It all starts with an Introductory Flight right here at Waterville, Maine, Norridgewock or Rangeley Airport. To your amazement the flight instructor will let you take the controls (and be there to assist you), help you find your house from above, or check out the beautiful sights from 3000 feet in the air.
