Skyfarer Academy Expands Into In-Person Flight Training

Skyfarer Academy, a growing aviation training platform, is expanding its offerings to include in-person flight instruction, connecting student pilots with local flight instructors and flight schools.

Originally launched as a live online aviation education hub, Skyfarer Academy is now bridging the gap between virtual pilot training and real-world instruction with a flexible, training-first platform designed to meet the evolving needs of students, individual flight instructors and flight schools across the United States.

This expansion marks a significant step in its mission to modernize and simplify flight training for pilots at all levels—from first-time students to advanced pilots pursuing specialized training. Skyfarer Academy also aims to help flight instructors build their student portfolio or break into flight instructing entirely.

“Many students still struggle to find quality instruction locally, and many instructors and schools lack a streamlined way to showcase their services and connect with students,”

said Todd Davis, Chief Aviation Officer of Skyfarer Academy. “This expansion is about creating that trusted, all-in-one place where both sides can connect more easily and effectively.”

Skyfarer Academy currently has instructors and schools signed up across five states with large aviation training communities — California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington — and is actively expanding to new regions to support pilots and training providers nationwide.

“This expansion was born out of our personal experiences in aviation and the challenges many pilots face in finding flight instruction in their own locations,” said Alex Witherspoon, COO of Skyfarer Academy. “We’ve been involved in aviation for years, and one thing we kept hearing from pilots was how difficult it was to find the right instructor—especially for specialized training needs.”
