Gulfstream Training Academy is an airline affiliated school offering today's career oriented aviation professionals many unique advantages, including our one-of-a-kind guarantee that every Gulfstream Training Academy graduate will be accepted into our preferential hiring program.

At Gulfstream Academy, "airline affiliated" means that when you graduate from the Academy, you graduate into a paid First Officer position with Gulfstream International Airlines, not a series of job interviews.

There has never been a more appropriate time to begin your commercial pilot career.

At Gulfstream Academy you can be in the right seat of a Beechcraft 1900D in less than 4 months. And then, as a First Officer, you will enhance your professional pilot experience with an additional 250 hours of Multi-engine, Turbo-prop, Beechcraft 1900 First Officer flight time with Gulfstream International Airlines.

Gulfstream International Airlines is a FAR PART 121 airline operating a fleet of 28 Beechcraft 1900s and 7 Embraer EMB-120s carrying more than 70 thousand passengers per month on more than 207 flights per day. For almost a decade, Gulfstream has been recognized as one of the leading providers of professional flight training. We offer the fastest possible transition to the Right Seat of a commercial airliner.

In the late 1980's, professional pilots needed a minimum of 5,000 hours of flight experience to even be considered by an airline. In the current market, regional airlines are actively seeking applicants with as little as 1,000 hours to 1,500 hours of flight experience. This downtrend in PIC hours of experience is expected to continue while, at the same time, industry experts project an average of 7,000 new commercial pilots will be hired per year over the next 7 to 10 years. The Future Airline Pilots Association (FAPA) predicts that, in the United States alone, scheduled airlines will need more than 50,000 new pilots within the next eight years, and the Airline Transport Association (ATA) projects that, by the year 2010, passenger air travel will double over the rates experienced in 1999.
