As the CEO of FLT Academy, I’m focused on solving one of aviation’s biggest challenges—training the next generation of pilots at scale, efficiently, and with the highest quality. With the global pilot shortage growing, FLT Academy is positioned as a leader in flight training, offering a streamlined path for aspiring pilots through innovative training programs, top-tier instructors, and strong airline partnerships.
We’re not just a flight school—we’re a long-term solution to the industry’s demand for skilled aviators. Through strategic investment, technology integration, and scalable infrastructure, we’re expanding our capabilities to meet increasing demand while maintaining the highest standards in training and safety.
We are actively exploring investment partnerships to accelerate our growth, expand our fleet, and increase training capacity to support the future of commercial aviation.
