  • CEA was founded in 2019 by experienced pilots and aviation specialists to raise the standard of pilot training in the region.

  • The academy’s 738 FSTD powered by ProSim delivers high-quality and cost-effective training to airline pilots.

  • CEA is currently working with ProSim on the requalification of its simulator and has upgraded to the latest ProSim software through a long-term update agreement.

  • The academy is advancing towards becoming an EASA ATPL exam centre and gaining MCC course certification.

MINT Software Systems Powers USA’s Gridiron Air’s Digital Training Platform

USA – MINT Software Systems announces that Gridiron Air, a Part 121 supplemental air carrier, has officially gone live with MINT TMS aviation training management software in less than six months. Gridiron Air signed a service contract in March of 2024 and launched MINT TMS in July as its centralized system for training, scheduling, compliance, and qualifications management.

Gridiron Air specializes in private air transport for professional sports teams, including the Arizona Cardinals NFL team. In 2024, they transitioned to a Part 121 certification, enabling broader operations that required a training management solution. Gridiron Air’s records and scheduling team implemented MINT TMS to reduce data redundancies and streamline operations. Using MINT TMS from the start has helped the airline create efficient workflows and compliance oversight processes with a completely digital record-keeping system. Gridiron Air also implemented MINT’s Calendar Sync add-on to synchronize training schedules within MINT TMS and its third-party calendar application, eliminating double booking and simplifying operations.

MINT TMS is a web-based training management system that helps airlines comply with aviation regulations by simplifying every part of the training cycle. In addition to qualification management, MINT TMS uses intelligent decision-making in its algorithm to forecast, plan, and optimize training schedules to cut costs, reduce labor, and better utilize instructors, classrooms, and flight simulator time. MINT TMS’s robust reporting allows training departments to analyze layers of data and uncover important trends to improve training performance.

“Aviation is always evolving, and so are we. MINT TMS lets us stay ahead, make real-time adjustments, and grow without losing control over our training and compliance. It’s an investment that just makes sense.” Misty Keechle, Records and Scheduling Manager for Gridiron Air

“A niche charter airline requires cost-effective operations at every step. MINT’s expertise in helping new airlines create streamlined training, compliance, and operational efficiencies lays the foundation for future growth. We’ve worked with airlines of every size and stage of growth, and are excited to see Gridiron launch our solution.” Nick Denton, Chief Customer Officer of MINT

Flight Schedule Pro Partners with Wings Leasing to Help Flight Schools Access Capital to Grow Their Fleets

USA – Flight Schedule Pro, the world’s leading operating system for flight training operations, today announced a new partnership with Wings Leasing, a tech-forward aviation leasing provider. Through this agreement, Flight Schedule Pro customers can now access dedicated aircraft leasing capital, with an initial commitment to this program of $100 million. Customers can close on terms with Wings Leasing in as little as 10 days.

The partnership unlocks fast, flexible, and fair leasing solutions for flight schools looking to grow their fleets without tying up working capital. Wings Leasing has committed to offering Flight Schedule Pro customers the best rates and more favorable terms than they could secure on their own— removing traditional friction points like upfront financing requirements, restrictive lease terms, or minimum usage constraints.

“Fleet growth is a major bottleneck for so many schools,” said Nick Wegner, CEO of Flight Schedule Pro. “This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission: to give operators the tools—and now the capital—they need to scale. Whether you’re leasing one plane or your entire fleet, this brings powerful new options directly into the hands of FSP users.”

The program is already in use by several leading schools, including Spartan Education Group, which leases its fleet through Wings Leasing. Capital unlocked from those aircraft has enabled Spartan to expand its training footprint and invest in further aircraft acquisition—all while running its operations on Flight Schedule Pro.

“Wings Leasing has been a trusted partner to Spartan Education Group—including Spartan College, McAir Aviation, and Illinois Aviation Academy—in expanding our training fleet. Their flexible lease terms and access to capital have eliminated common barriers to growth, enabling us to scale efficiently across all campuses.” – Todd Cellini, Chief Operating Officer, Spartan Education Group, LLC.

“We built Wings Leasing to be different from traditional aircraft lenders,” said Alan Goodnight, CEO of Wings Leasing. “We understand flight school economics, and we move fast—because that’s what growing schools need. Flight Schedule Pro is the ideal partner for us to reach the most forward-looking operators in the industry.”

With this announcement, Flight Schedule Pro adds another key capability to its expanding suite of integrated partnerships—joining recent collaborations with Sallie Mae, as well as online ground school providers Sporty’s and AviatorPro.
