Cinetic Plus

What Cinetic Plus does

Cinetic Plus, S.L. is an AESA-approved Approved Training Organization (ATO-238) headquartered at Madrid's Cuatro Vientos Airport with a separately registered fiscal address in Coslada, Spain, providing regulated aviation training and certification services. The company operates a catalog of more than 180 courses spanning pilot type ratings (Airbus A320, A330, A340, Boeing B737/800, Beechcraft, B90/99/100/200), cabin crew (TCP) certification, drone pilot licensing under EASA STS-01/02 and national STS-ES categories, instructor development (TRI/SFI/FI), MCC/JOC, HUET, CRM, PBN, EWIS, Fuel Tank Safety, dangerous goods, and airport ground operations training. As a designated AESA ICAO Language Proficiency examination center (CECL-011) and ISO 9001:2015 certified provider, the company holds regulatory recognitions that constrain competitive entry.

The technology stack centers on AESA/EASA-approved full-motion flight simulators (A320, B737/800, PA31, UPRT) housed at the Cuatro Vientos ATO facility, supplemented by mockups, a water-survival pool, and a separate e-learning platform (e-cso.com) supporting self-paced PPL and ATPL study. Rather than owning every simulator variant, Cinetic Plus has integrated with six external simulator operators — Airbus Industrie, Lufthansa, AFG, CAE, Babcock, and Finna Aviation Academy — to deliver CCQ, ZFTT (Zero Flight Time Training), and type-rating programs, including an A340-to-A350 pathway via the Finnish Finna partnership.

The revenue model combines four streams: one-time course fees ranging from €155 (drone language exam) to €30,000 (A310/A300-600 type rating), with typical type-rating ACVs of €10,950-€13,000; usage-based simulator session rentals (€75-€170/hour equivalents), structured through 10-hour (€1,520) and 20-hour (€2,704) volume packs; recurring e-learning subscriptions at €25-€55 per nominative license; and B2B professional services including 24/7 quality audits, SMS consulting, and dangerous-goods training for operators. The go-to-market mixes direct-to-consumer e-commerce (cineticplus.com), in-person facility sales, channel partnerships with other ATO training schools, and referral partnerships (e.g., airlinepilotspreparation.com), with enterprise field sales targeted at airlines and aviation handling agents. No named enterprise customers are disclosed, suggesting a D2C-heavy mix with a developing B2B layer.
