Utah's FLT Academy Named One of 3 Elite SkyWest Partners in the United States

Utah, USA – FLT Academy, a pilot training group based in Utah, has been designated as one of only three Elite SkyWest Partners in the United States following a new structuring implementation of the SkyWest Airlines' cadet partnership program.

• SkyWest Airlines has narrowed its Elite Partner designation from a broader group of affiliated flight schools to just three institutions, with FLT Academy confirmed among them. While FLT Academy students have effectively benefited from this level of partnership for several years, the formal designation consolidates the relationship under a more exclusive tier.
• As an Elite SkyWest Partner, FLT Academy students gain immediate access to the SkyWest Pilot Pathway Program, day-one seniority recognition within the program, and a guaranteed interview for a First Officer position upon meeting airline eligibility requirements.
• FLT Academy is the only Elite Partner that is Utah-based and operates exclusively within the state, and the only Elite Partner holding Examining Authority — enabling greater oversight, consistency, and efficiency in the training and check-ride process.
• The designation reinforces FLT Academy's position as a structured airline pathway provider, offering a direct pipeline from ab-initio training through to regional airline employment with one of the largest regional carriers in North America.
