GFTS & APC Announce Partnership

Irish owned Florida based flight school Global Flight Training Solutions (GFTS) and Dublin based Airline Pilot Club (APC) have announced the launch of a partnership which will provide APC members access to a perfect location for their hour building. APC members will be able to build their hours in the wonderful surroundings of Immolakee Airport (KIMM) in Florida, USA. Immolakee is excellently located in the Sunshine State and with GFTS providing the service, students will get high quality, safe opportunities to accumulate flying time quickly and at an excellent price.

Commenting on the announcement, APC founder and CEO, Captain Andy O’Shea said: “This partnership with GFTS provides APC members with even more options to progress their airline pilot training. In choosing GFTS as our first ATO outside the EU we are confident that the combination of Victor Costello’s experience as a Captain in Ryanair and his commitment to quality and safety will be optimum for APC members. In extending the geographic spread of our ATO partners outside the EU and EASA environment, APC is underlining its determination to provide a global service to people who want to become an airline pilot.

Commenting on the announcement, GFTS Managing Director, Victor Costello said: “We at GFTS are delighted to partner with The Airline Pilot Club, a pioneer in the aviation industry. We look forward to adding to their range of training products for aspiring pilots and maintaining the high standard of excellence that APC provides.”
