Core offering

Pilot Path Group coordinates modular commercial pilot training by packaging multiple training stages (Introduction to Flight, PPL, IR, CPL, Multi-Engine Rating, APS MCC) and delivering them through a network of partner flight schools in the USA, Ireland, UK, and Poland. Customers purchase training packages directly from Pilot Path, with the company providing dedicated engagement managers, the Pilot Hub student portal, and access to student financing partnerships. The offering is targeted at individual aspiring pilots who want to train part-time while maintaining employment, with a claimed zero-to-ATPL pathway priced under $70,000/£70,000.

Product overview

Pilot Path Group offers a modular commercial flight training platform that coordinates multiple training stages and partner schools. The core offering consists of sequential training modules: Introduction to Flight trial experience, Private Pilot Licence (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Multi-Engine Rating (MER), ATPL Theory, Hour Building, and APS Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC). Students progress through these modules at their own pace while maintaining full-time employment, with support from dedicated engagement managers. Training is delivered through partner flight schools across the USA (Immokalee Regional Airport, Florida), UK (Liverpool John Lennon Airport), and Ireland (Newcastle Aerodrome, Dublin). The platform also includes a student portal (Pilot Hub) for managing training progress and payments.
