Wayman Eddy Luy Vice President of the Academy says; “Financing is critical to help Pilots reach the airlines and to help us reach our mission, – Changing Lives Through Aviation.”
Boeing’s recent 2020-2039 market outlook states a need for 763,000 new pilots over the next 20 years. After the initial furlough due to the pandemic, the regional airlines have led the recovery. The long-term demand for pilots to replace retiring crews has not lessened, but accelerated due to early retirements.
Students will be able to fly from the Hollywood North Perry Airport KHWO facility for this accelerated full-time Part 141 training program. Wayman recently opened a new $3,000,000 training center at the field with classrooms, dispatch, library, and testing facilities. This doubles the space available of their 12,000 sqft hangar, Part 145 Repair station, and sim center.
