Phoenix, Arizona global flight training organisation AeroGuard Flight Training Center is excited to announce a recent aircraft expansion deal with Piper Aircraft where it will receive 90 new Piper Archers.

With this deal, AeroGuard will almost 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 across the globe and in key markets within the U.S., Middle East, India, and East Asia. As a
result, AeroGuard expects the capacity to consistently train over 2,000 student pilots across its three U.S. campuses and Saudi Arabia campus, preparing student pilots for professional careers at the world’s leading airlines.

AeroGuard’s capacity across these four campus locations is a critical asset for its global airline customers at a time for high pilot training demand. With existing airlines expanding their fleets and new airlines establishing a presence in the industry, thousands of new pilots will be
needed in the Middle East, India, and elsewhere in Asia over the next five years. AeroGuard’s global presence allows it to be a leading flight training provider for the Region and produce highly skilled pilots for airlines all over the world.

Joel Davidson, CEO of AeroGuard Flight Training Center, shared “We are thrilled to sign this agreement with Piper Aircraft to bring 90 new Piper Archers to AeroGuard’s fleet. This investment represents our commitment to providing our airline partners’ 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 airline cadets to our pilot 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, USA campus location, growing capacity by 30% with the addition of a new building. AeroGuard’s over 600 U.S. student pilots form the pipeline capable of training hundreds of students from all over the world. These U.S. student pilots are offered Flight Instructor positions with AeroGuard to build their flight experience upon graduation. Combined with this new aircraft order with Piper, AeroGuard is well positioned to become the leading flight training academy in the world.

AeroGuard Flight Training Center has established successful and strategic partnerships with leading airlines and institutions, including Cathay Pacific, SkyWest Airlines and Korea Aerospace University, and several other airline and university partnerships across the Middle
East, India, and the rest of Asia.

“At Piper Aircraft, we pride ourselves in making high-quality, reliable training aircraft to support each flight school’s individual needs,” said John Calcagno, President and CEO. “We are honored to continue our partnership with Piper Flight School Alliance member, AeroGuard, and provide them with 90 new trainers over the next 5 years.”

AeroGuard is a leading international flight training provider with growing training capacity and facilities, four global locations that offer ideal flight training environments with up to 350 flying days a year, and a high-quality curriculum to develop future industry leaders
worldwide. The new Piper Archers will be delivered to AeroGuard in 2024 and the coming years and further contribute to the efficiency of AeroGuard’s accelerated programs, while continuing to focus on safety and quality training.
