TRUE TESTIMONIALS
When I finished my studies, Aero Link gave me the opportunity to work with them as a flight instructor in order to continue learning and growing professionally. Today I am an Airline Pilot in the first European Airline by passenger volume.

I had always wanted to be a pilot, it was something vocational. Why Aero Link? At that time there were only two flight schools for the training of Airline Transport Pilot: TOP FLY and AERO LINK. This school truly cared of my education. I would definitely recommend them !

As a student I really enjoyed the training, largely thanks to high quality instructor training that I had. During my time as a student and later as a Flight Instructor, I have had many experiences that I wouldn’t change this for anything, I could develop my career as a pilot through continued training and apprenticeship from my colleagues, students and all I lived in Aero Link.

I and my classmates are an example of how a dream can come true and Aero Link has been part of this reality. Their airline agreements helped me in my job placement. Because of their instructors, fleet and maintenance facilities, but above all, because of their great human qualities, I would definitely repeat my training at this flight school.
