AeroGuard Flight Training Center Signs Deal with Piper Aircraft to Expand Fleet and Training Capacity with 90 New Planes
With this deal, AeroGuard will more than double its fleet in size, bringing it to over 200 aircraft. This order signifies AeroGuard's commitment to meeting the growing demand for pilot training and the exponential growth the school has seen this year within its current courses. As a result, AeroGuard expects the capacity to consistently train over 2,000 student pilots across its three U.S. campuses, preparing student pilots for professional careers at the commercial airlines.

This investment represents our commitment to providing our student pilots with every resource they need to succeed while experiencing the highest quality flight training in the world. With these additional aircraft, AeroGuard has the capacity to welcome hundreds of new student pilots and airline cadets to our flight training programs."
In addition to this order of 90 aircraft, AeroGuard will have added 25 additional planes to its rapidly expanding fleet by the end of 2023. AeroGuard also recently expanded its Phoenix, Arizona, location, growing capacity by 30% with the addition of a new building.
AeroGuard Flight Training Center has seen significant growth in enrollment this year, especially in its domestic training programs. Its Pilot Pathway Program, offered in partnership with SkyWest Airlines, provides students with a clear path to their future career with guaranteed interviews at each stage, ongoing mentorship, and tuition reimbursements.
