AeroGuard Rapidly Expands Aircraft Fleet

AeroGuard Flight Training Center has recently exceeded 100 planes within its growing aircraft fleet, passing a significant milestone. AeroGuard has seen rapid growth this past year not only in its fleet, but also in student enrollments, instructor hiring, campus expansion, and notable airline partnerships.

Throughout 2023, AeroGuard added 25 planes to its fleet in addition to placing a 90 aircraft order with Piper Aircraft. Its aircraft acquisition continued into 2024 as a further 10+ planes have been added, supporting its business growth and expansion now exceeding 100 aircraft in its fleet. As its 90 aircraft order begins deliveries this year and the school moves forward with further aircraft acquisition, AeroGuard plans to more than double its fleet in size and establish the capacity to train up to 2,000 students across its three U.S. campuses.

AeroGuard is the flight training provider for Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong’s leading airline, India’s flag carrier Air India and Taiwan-based China Airlines, alongside other global airlines. In addition to its international airline partnerships, AeroGuard partners with SkyWest Airlines for its Pilot Pathway Program as well as Arizona State University as part of its B.S. Aeronautical Management Technology program. Through these programs, AeroGuard trains domestic U.S. students for their future careers, establishing a pipeline of instructors with the opportunity to build their FAA-required 1,500 hours, and providing a direct path to the airlines.

AeroGuard’s CEO, Joel Davidson, spoke on the milestone stating, “This is an exciting achievement for AeroGuard as we continue to expand our fleet and operations on a global scale. Exceeding 100 aircraft in our quickly growing fleet is a testament to our dedication to providing the highest quality training experience for our students. Each aircraft represents an opportunity for our student pilots and instructors to achieve their goals, become professional pilots, and establish themselves as industry leaders.”
