What Qualiflight Aviation Training does

Qualiflight Aviation Training, S.L. (QAT) is a privately-held Spanish Approved Training Organisation authorized by AESA (E-ATO-233) and operating under EASA Part-ORA, headquartered in Madrid with a language testing center in Torremolinos-Málaga and additional training academies in Barcelona, Malta, Milan, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Miami, Hanoi, and Luxembourg. The company delivers certified aviation training for commercial pilots, instructor pilots, cabin crew, and airline operational staff, including type rating courses across the Airbus (A320/A330/A340), Boeing (B737/B747/B757/B767/B777/B787), ATR 42/72, and Bombardier CRJ families, plus Cross Crew Qualification (CCQ) and Boeing bridge courses, TRI/SFI instructor certification, ICAO-to-EASA license conversion, ICAO language proficiency testing up to Level 6, safety and compliance courses (SMS, FTL, FRM, C/QMS, EASA Auditor), and cabin crew certification.

The technical core centers on Full Flight Simulator-based training, including an A-320 FFS with triple Full HD 200-degree visual projection, real worldwide navigational database, configurable real-time weather, and CAT I/II/III plus PBN approach support, accessed through partnership agreements with simulator facilities across the global network. Theoretical instruction is delivered through a Computer Based Training platform with a 16,000-question bank and a dedicated iOS/Android mobile application that supports license tracking, expiration alerts, and instructor chat, all running on the TalentLMS learning management system.

The business model is professional services revenue from per-course and per-simulator-session fees, with sales executed through direct enterprise engagement with airlines for type rating and instructor programs and direct-to-consumer inquiries from individual pilots and crew trainees. Distribution combines an enterprise sales motion, a website-based inquiry and booking system for individuals, and a self-serve channel for language testing; pricing is not publicly disclosed but is positioned as competitive relative to in-house airline training due to multi-center simulator agreements.

Broad incumbents

• FlightSafety International: Long-standing pilot training provider with owned simulator centers worldwide and deep relationships with major OEMs and airlines. Directly comparable across Airbus/Boeing type ratings, instructor certification, and language proficiency offerings.
• CAE: Global leader in civil aviation training with the world's largest network of full-flight simulators and a comprehensive type-rating portfolio across Airbus and Boeing fleets. Directly comparable as a multi-platform, EASA-equivalent pilot training provider, but operating at vastly greater scale.
• L3Harris Airline Academy: Diversified training provider combining ab-initio pilot training with type rating and instructor courses, integrated within a large aerospace and defense prime. Comparable scope on type ratings with substantially deeper corporate resources.

Regional players

• Flight Training Europe (FTE): EASA-approved integrated ATPL and type rating school based in Jerez, Spain, with European market focus. Comparable as a Spain-headquartered ATO targeting the same European pilot training demand, though more focused on ab-initio pathways.
• Emirates Flight Training Academy: Dubai-based cadet pilot training academy integrated with a major airline. Comparable in EASA-relevant training content and global ambitions, though anchored to a specific airline's fleet rather than serving multiple carriers.

Emerging players

• Egnatia Aviation: Greece-based EASA-approved flight training organization offering integrated ATPL and type rating services. Comparable as a smaller European ATO competing for the same cross-border pilot training and license conversion flows.
• Global Aviation Training + Airlines (TCA): Smaller European ATO offering type rating and conversion courses to commercial pilots. Comparable as an emerging multi-platform ATO competing for individual pilot and small-airline contracts within the EASA framework.

Direct peers

• Pan Am International Flight Academy: Pilot type rating and training academy with multiple global sites offering type ratings on Airbus and Boeing families. Closely comparable as a multi-aircraft ATO competing for the same commercial airline pilot training budget.
• Lufthansa Aviation Training: European-based aviation training organization offering type ratings, recurrent training, and instructor certification under EASA framework with multiple simulator bases. Directly comparable as an EASA-regulated multi-platform ATO competing in the European commercial pilot market.
• BAA Training: European ATO providing type rating, base training, and instructor courses across Airbus and Boeing platforms with simulator centers in Lithuania and Spain. Closely comparable in scale, EASA regulatory position, and A320/B737 focus.
