India – Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA), which operates two flight training bases in India, proudly celebrates 17 years of excellence in shaping the nation’s finest pilots. Since its inception in 2008, CAA has established a strong reputation for rigorous training and industry-leading standards, having trained over 600 skilled aviators who now serve in India and abroad.

With a fleet of 26 aircraft, two operational airbases (Dhana & Neemuch), and a significant presence in India’s pilot training ecosystem—contributing to 20% of the country’s domestic CPL market—CAA continues to set benchmarks in aviation training.

Adding to the significance of this milestone, the ICP 07 batch of the CAA-IndiGo Cadet Pilot Program formally signed their Letters of Intent (LOIs), marking a pivotal step toward their aspirations of becoming airline pilots.

Reflecting on this achievement, Y. N. (Bobby) Sharma, CEO of Chimes Aviation Academy, stated: “As we celebrate 17 years of unwavering commitment to aviation excellence, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff, ambitious students, supportive parents, and esteemed partners. This academy is more than just a training ground—it’s where aspirations take flight.“

As India progresses toward self-reliance in aviation training, CAA proudly supports the ‘Train in India’ initiative, providing world-class pilot training domestically. The future is promising, and the journey continues.
