Who we serve
Built for flight schools, and the people behind their fleets.
Training operators, the owners whose aircraft they fly, and the manufacturers who build them.
Flight schools and training operators
Fleet growth without tying up capital.
We are pilots. We know what a down aircraft costs a school on any given day, and we built our platform around keeping trainers flying.
Part 141 schools
Structured programs with high, predictable utilization.
Part 61 schools
Flexible operators growing their instructor and student base.
Universities and academies
Collegiate aviation programs and pilot academies.
Aircraft manufacturers
A partner you can trust with the schools you introduce.
We work with Cessna, Piper, Diamond and Tecnam to put new trainers into programs that will fly them hard and look after them well.
