Description
Well-established aviation training academy operating in South Florida with two airport locations. The business provides pilot training under FAA Part 141 and Part 61, serving both career-track and recreational students, including international enrollment (SEVIS certified). Operations include a modern, company-owned fleet of eight aircraft and a full-motion simulator, supporting training from private pilot through instructor certifications. The company also generates revenue through aircraft rentals and in-house maintenance services. The vertically integrated model allows for cost control and improved fleet uptime, resulting in a lower cost competitive advantage. Facilities are secured through multiple leases in a supply-constrained market, creating barriers to entry that are difficult to replicate. One location does not allow new aviation academies. Key Highlights: • FAA Part 141 & Part 61 programs • SEVIS Certification – Enables visa programs for international students. • Two-location operation in South Florida • Company-owned aircraft fleet and simulator • In-house maintenance capability • Established student base with international component Sellers are open to selling only one location.
