World Class Instructors, Facilities and Training Environment
Collaborations that ensure our students get the very best of the best
AIAA operates 40+ aircraft across multiple types including single-engine trainers, complex aircraft, and twin-engine multi-engine trainers. With a 1:5 aircraft-to-student ratio, you will never wait weeks for an aircraft slot. Our students fly 5–6 days per week as standard. This pace is simply impossible at most Indian schools.
Our in-house FAA Repair Station gives us complete oversight of aircraft maintenance, allowing us to inspect, service, and repair our training fleet to exacting standards. This ensures every aircraft is maintained in peak condition, ready to deliver a safe, reliable, and consistent training experience.
Our full simulators let you practise instrument procedures, engine-out emergencies, and complex approaches in total safety - before facing them in a real aircraft. Simulator hours are approved by the FAA to count towards your licence. This is an advantage that small flight schools cannot offer.
Designed with the needs of aspiring pilots in mind, our student accommodation offers a comfortable, secure, and well-equipped environment to live, relax, and recharge. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to help students feel at home while they focus on their training and personal growth.
