Florida, United States based Epic Flight Academy welcomed its 21 new flight students who completed their orientation day in November 2023 at its New Smyrna Beach Airport location.

Epic Flight Academy is an FAA-certified Part 141 flight school with its  home base is at the New Smyrna Beach (EVB), and its satellite locations are located at Ocala International Airport (OCF), Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) and Tucson, Arizona.

Earlier in November 2023 Epic Flight Academy announced its partnership with Purdue Global to offer an online bachelor’s degree in Aviation Management or Professional Flight through the Purdue Global Aviation Program.

“We are pleased to partner with Epic Flight Academy through recognition of prior learning in both the professional flight and aviation management programs,” said Sara Sander, Purdue Global vice president, dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and interim dean of the School of Aviation. “This partnership will help both parties work together to address the need for more pilots, as well as those who work in the aviation industry.”

Epic Flight Academy founder and CEO Danny Perna added, “Our flight students can earn up to 45 transfer credits through their Epic flight training with Purdue Global. We’re thrilled to offer them the opportunity to earn their bachelor’s degree at a school with such a rich aviation history.”

Participants in both programs can save up to $28,400 in tuition and complete the degree online in 2 to 3 years. They can work on their degree while they complete flight training or as they work as a full-time flight instructor.
