AAP Aviation is to become the biggest owner of the Pilot Flight Academy (PFA) in Sandefjord after a group of industrial and financial players have now joined forces to continue one of Europe’s largest and most modern flight schools.
In addition to AAP Aviation, Widerøe is taking a 10 per cent stake in the academy. Viewed overall, this creates a stronger affiliation with the industry and attractive future prospects for students.
“New pilots are much sought-after, and demand will increase further in coming years,” says CEO Espen Høiby at AAP Aviation, who will now be taking over as chair of the PFA.
