Acquisition Opportunity: Leading Aviation Academy in Latin America

Brookfield Aviation Finance is pleased to present an exclusive acquisition opportunity involving one of the most recognised aviation training institutions in Latin America. With over 75 years of operational history, this well-established academy stands as a cornerstone in aviation education, offering a comprehensive range of training programs and maintaining partnerships with airlines, maintenance centres, and aviation authorities across the region. 

The academy has trained more than 30,000 aviation professionals, including commercial and private pilots, cabin crew, flight dispatchers, and aircraft maintenance technicians. Its bilingual programs and internationally recognised brand have attracted students from more than 11 nationalities, ensuring a global reputation for excellence. 

The academy currently trains approximately 1,600 students annually, with a maximum capacity of 2,100, and boasts a strong employment rate, 62% of graduates are hired directly by airlines.

Strategic Positioning 

Operating from two fully functional training bases, the institution benefits from strategic locations with plans for expansion into additional major cities within the country. 

Key strategic advantages include: 

• Long-standing relationships with airlines and regional maintenance centres 

• International recognition under a bilingual brand 

• Fully certified programs approved by national civil aviation authorities and quality bodies

  
  

Infrastructure  

Spanning 5,600 m² across two campuses, the academy offers world-class facilities designed for both student experience and operational efficiency: 

• 39 fully equipped classrooms 

• 10 single-engine and 2 multi-engine aircraft with an average utilisation rate of 1,300 flight hours per aircraft per year 

• 4 Level 5 AATD simulators (Airbus A320, Boeing 737NG, King 350, Piper) 

• 1 A320 Cabin Crew Simulator 

• Specialised laboratories for avionics, electronics, painting, structures, and engines 

• On-site student accommodation and recreational facilities 

Organisation of Maintenance (OMA) 

The academy’s Organisation of Maintenance (OMA) represents an operational advantage. With 40 years of experience, 18 qualified technicians, and 2,400 m² of hangar space, the OMA division provides maintenance services for the academy’s own fleet while offering external servicing capabilities. 

Positioned for expansion into the broader Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) market, OMA’s integration with training programs creates strong synergies and a foundation for future growth in both domestic and international maintenance services.
