Airline Pilot Club Renamed Amris Aviation

Ireland — The Airline Pilot Club (APC) announced a new chapter in the company’s evolution - changing its name to Amris Aviation, reflecting an expanded focus on aviation modelling, risk and intelligence.

“Amris Aviation represents what we have been building from the start: a trusted partner in airline pilot development and performance, founded on the core values of competence, confidence and character,” said Captain Andy O’Shea, Executive Chairman. “The team, our services, and customer commitments remain unchanged.”

“Think of Amris Aviation as the voice of a senior airline captain who has analysed the latest research: professional, confident, and genuinely invested in people’s growth,” O’Shea noted.

As part of the rename, APC’s data platform previously known as Amelia will now operate as the Amris Competency Management System, reflecting the platform’s role as the company’s core intelligence system for decision-grade evidence, providing airline training and safety teams deeper visibility into crew performance and emerging risk signals which are clear, consistent and provable.

“Amris Competency Management System is designed to help aviation organizations move from fragmented observation to consistent, structured insight – validated, traceable, and aligned to EBTA/CBTA - that supports better training decisions and stronger safety outcomes,” said Cedric Paillard, Amris Aviation CEO.

The Amris Aviation ecosystem currently encompasses:

• Amris Competency Management System – evidence-led decision intelligence

• Airline Pilot Club – aspirational entry community for early-stage pilots

• Amris Academy – federated network of quality-assured Approved Training Organisations (ATOs) delivering structured training, mentoring and instructor standardisation

• Airline Ready Pilot Pool – structured career transition program connecting graduate pilots with safe, efficient airlines through validated readiness assessments

Amris Aviation will be exhibiting at the World Aviation Training Summit (WATS) in Orlando, Florida, 4-7 May 2026 – Booth 209. Cedric Paillard will be co-leading (with Brock Booher) a hands-on workshop, “AI in Aviation Training: From Hype to Hands-On” on May 4.
On May 6, in the Pilot Training track, Paillard will speak on “AI as the Instructor’s Co-Pilot: Enhancing Reliability and Calibration in Competency-Based Training.” He will also speak on May 6 in the Cabin Crew Training track on “Human Factors in the Loop: Leveraging AI to Support Instructor Mental Workload and Decision Quality.”
