Flight school?

Does anyone know about flight schools?

What are your thoughts about pilot training schools for a search fund acquisition?

I have been exploring the aviation industry and, after several tough years, it seems to have strong tailwinds.

Would highly appreciate any good advice.

"Strong tailwinds", nice.

I have a PPL and thus am a former flight school student. Happy to chat.

My main comment is that you should expect your entire instructor staff to turn over every few years.. Most of your instructor staff will not want to be a flight instructor, they want to fly for some type of commercial carrier and are only instructing to build hours.

Happy to connect. Shoot me a note at redacted My team and I have transacted on $500M+ of general and business aviation deals including flight schools. I used to even run a flight school way back in the day : )
