New Aircraft Deliveries Signal Major Training Expansion

AeroGuard Flight Training Center has received five new Piper Archer aircraft this month, bringing its fleet to more than 125 aircraft. The aircraft are part of AeroGuard’s 90-aircraft order with Piper Aircraft, which will continue delivering in the coming years. With this order and additional acquisition plans, the school expects to operate 130 planes by 2026.

AeroGuard placed its 90-aircraft order with Piper in late 2023 in response to increasing demand for its ab initio flight training programs. In recent weeks, the school has expanded its fleet to prepare for new programs and support current ones as it trains aspiring commercial airline pilots and professional aviators from the United States and abroad.

The school also recently added four DA42 Diamond Aircraft to support a new program with the United States Air Force, providing initial flight training to officers before they continue their military careers.

AeroGuard is now receiving this third delivery of five Piper Archers to meet program demand and student growth. The school has taken delivery of 15 aircraft from the 90-aircraft order, with additional aircraft still to come.

AeroGuard partners with international airlines including Cathay Pacific, Air New Zealand, Air India, and China Airlines, as well as U.S. partners such as SkyWest Airlines, Arizona State University, and the U.S. Air Force. These programs provide cadets with AeroGuard’s structured curriculum, preparing them for careers as commercial or military pilots.
