About Academy of Aviation
Academy of Aviation's Charlotte-area campus is located at Gastonia Municipal Airport (KAKH) at 1030 Gaston Day School Rd, Gastonia, NC 28056 — approximately 20 miles west of uptown Charlotte. The school holds an FAA Part 141 Air Agency Certificate, offering structured curriculum-based training that allows students to test for their commercial certificate with fewer hours than the Part 61 minimum. As one of only four flight schools in the United States partnered with Delta Air Lines through the Delta Propel Program, graduates who complete flight instructor ratings and instruct at AOA can enter a pathway offering a conditional flow offer to Endeavor Air and a clear route to Delta Air Lines. This makes Academy of Aviation one of the most attractive airline-pathway schools in the Southeast. The school manages Gastonia Municipal Airport as the FBO, meaning students have dedicated access to aircraft without competition from other operators. Programs range from Private Pilot through Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certifications. Admissions can be reached at (888) 983-4284 with local campus contact at (704) 459-8759. Best suited for career-minded students in the Charlotte/Piedmont region who want a structured Part 141 program with a defined pathway to a major airline career through the Delta Propel affiliation.
