ACS Aviation, a flight school based in Perth, has been given the go ahead to train military pilots for pilot jobs and airline passenger jets.
As reported by The Insider, the Ministry of Defence approved the company’s programme, where ex-RAF personnel can gain Enhanced Learning Credits (ELCAS) to convert their qualifications into civilian licences.
The company has experienced an increase in the number of would-be pilots and forecasts that more than 200 will enrol on to its Airline Pilot Transport Licence programme throughout the next three years.
ACS Aviation is forecasting a 46% increase in turnover from £1.3 million to £1.9 million for the year ending March 31.
