Flight School Opens Twelfth Location in Connecticut

Epic Flight Academy has opened its 12th FAA Part 141 flight school, at Danbury Municipal Airport in Connecticut. Members of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce and Epic staff hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting on Saturday, 17 October 2026, where visitors toured the school and tried the flight simulator.

Director of campus operations Brock Rees said, “From our initial inquiry at Danbury Municipal Airport through every stage of the planning process, the Danbury community has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. We were thrilled by the strong turnout for our grand opening. Although windy conditions limited us to just one discovery flight, we scheduled approximately 20 additional flights for a later date.”

Chamber president Maura Ruby said, “Their investment brings an exciting new dimension to our region’s workforce development opportunities and reinforces the importance of connecting education with industry.”

Founded in 1999, Epic Flight Academy also offers Part 147 aircraft mechanic training in Florida and Kentucky, and has trained pilots from all 50 US states and more than 100 countries.
