Flight School Resource and Training Timeline Forecasting Tool, Aeroplanned, Releases 2nd ‘Excellence in Pilot-Training Planning’ Video
Aeroplanned, the pioneering resource planning platform for flight training, has launched a new video series to showcase its offering to the different pilot training industry stakeholders.
“Aeroplanned is relatively new and unique in the industry, which can make it challenging to explain its full scope. Our key focus is to seamlessly connect the pilot training pipeline, ensuring smooth student progress and optimal outcomes for all involved. But what does that actually look like?
We thought it would be good to showcase some of our favourite features and how they tackle significant issues within the flight training industry.
We believe every student needs a tailored plan moving forward. No matter the type of training, if you want the best outcomes for your flight school – optimised resources, happy students, correctly-booked flight tests, accurate hiring and upgrade plans, predictable revenue (the list goes on!) – every student needs a plan.
For some students, on-time completion is crucial. In this video, we’ll show how easy it is to use our software to resolve delays and ensure students finish on-time.
Why is this important?
- For airline cadets with booked slots in full flight simulators
- For students moving between bases for streamlined transitions
- For students with hard end dates due to financial, travel, immigration, or job commitments
- Or simply to deliver training to the agreed contract and keep the flight school running like clockwork
Aeroplanned makes it simple to resolve delays and ensure on-time completion, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved.”

Global Pilot Training Solution Provider and Middle Eastern Airline Unveil New White Paper on Pilot Continuous Professional Development
In a joint effort to enhance aviation safety, global pilot training solution provider CAE and Dubai, United Arab Emirates based airline Emirates published a new White Paper focusing on Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for pilots.
The new White Paper delves into the evolving landscape of pilot training, stressing the importance of CPD as technological advancements shift the pilot’s role from manual control to system monitoring. This transition necessitates new competencies, particularly in Non-Technical Skills (NTS), and highlights the need for innovative learning methodologies.
Traditionally, pilot training has centered on meeting and maintaining standards, a framework seen as more advantageous for organizations than for individual pilots. The White Paper advocates for a paradigm shift towards Continuous Recurrent Training (CRT), promoting flexible and personalized learning that can drive significant advancements in pilot training.
A key message of the White Paper is the movement from compliance-based to competence-based training, emphasizing continuous development. This approach involves setting individualized training goals and focusing on practical competence rather than mere knowledge absorption.
Drawing inspiration from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the White Paper outlines a CPD process encompassing planning, executing, recording, and reviewing learning activities. It also highlights essential enablers for effective CPD, such as maintaining curiosity, dedicating regular time for learning, seeking feedback, reflecting on experiences, and embracing new challenges.

World’s Largest ACMI Provider and Aviation Conglomerate Avia Solutions Group Records 26% Revenue Growth in Q1 2024
Avia Solutions Group, the world’s largest ACMI provider (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) services and owner of global pilot training group BAA Training, announced its financial performance results for Q1 2024. The Group’s revenue grew by 26%, reaching €508.8 million. The growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in passenger flight volumes – the Group’s revenue from passenger aircraft ACMI services grew 2.3-fold, reaching €216 million.
The Group’s EBITDA stood at €11.9 million, while its net losses comprised €97.5 million, meeting the overall expectations for Q1. These results were mostly due to investment into fleet capacity and crew, in preparation for a record-breaking summer season, as well as to strategic expansion in new markets.
During the first quarter of this year, the Group expanded its fleet with 13 new aircraft, bringing the total to 171 passenger and 42 cargo aircraft. Even though, in the aviation industry, the first quarter of any given year is typically considered not as profitable, the Group’s entire fleet, which today encompasses 213 aircraft, has already been leased to major European and international airlines, including Lufthansa Group, Turkish Airlines, Wizz Air, TUI, IndiGo, among others.
“We are now fully prepared for the summer season, which we expect to break all previous records. The Group’s aviation services infrastructure and global scale give us a significant competitive advantage and the status of industry leaders,” said Jonas Janukenas, CEO of Avia Solutions Group.
Avia Solutions Group is consistently implementing its expansion strategy in Asia, Asia-Pacific, and South America, which enables it to efficiently manage seasonality in Europe by shifting aircraft from one region to another. Early in Q1 2024, the Group acquired the Australian airline Skytrans, and is planning to establish ACMI airlines in Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia later this year.
Based in Ireland, Avia Solutions Group operates in 68 countries around the world, and has offices in Lithuania, New York, Dubai, Dublin, and other cities around the globe. The Group consists of 100+ companies providing a wide range of aviation services like aircraft maintenance and repair (MRO), pilot and crew training, ground handling, and more. The Group’s team encompasses 12,000 highly qualified aviation professionals.
