Success Stories: Real Experiences from Our Students

George Predoiu

At Airpull Aviation during my PPL was amazing. They made an amazing job to schedule training flights when was possible for me as I live in another country. The own aerodrome and facilities are good to train you to become a great pilot as you can do as many landings and take offs as you want. Looking forward to start the ATPL now!

Stefano Martegani

I was an Italian modular ATPL student and I did there my IR, NR, ME, CPL and MCC. The high level of school’s organization, together with amazing instructors, gave me the best pilot training ever. I did in 5 months what I could have done in Italy in 12, also because the aerodrome is property of the school, with all the advantages of the case. 100% best quality/cost ratio for pilot training!

Jean Gabriel Ducournau

A great Flying School. Neat, well kept, organized, clean, efficient, SAFE, great instructors, great food at the Restaurant and best of it all: It makes you feel at home. The airport environment is very enjoyable where you get to see all kind of Aviators, from aviation students with their instructor or doing their solo flights to all kind of aircraft owners who gather to have fun while flying their airplanes and their family and friends sharing great Spanish food. Just like I said above, being ran by its owners, you can feel how well the want to do it and they do indeed!! If you are searching for a suitable place to discover aviation or become a professional Pilot in Europe search no more: This is

Rafael Vidal Dupuy

Airpull Aviation Academy has been my flight school during my process of becoming a commercial pilot. This great school has always provided me with outstanding services. Not only the facilities but their own large fleet of aircrafts allow for a “non-queuing” experience and focus on what is most important, flying as much as possible, gaining knowledge and experience. All of this wouldn’t be possible either without their great team of instructors and, of course, an unbeatable meteorology, which helps swift the process. If your dream can be found in an airplane’s console, I can’t do anything but recommend Airpull Aviation Academy.

Vicente Soler

Airpull Aviation Academy has been and is my home. The place where I started and finished my ATPL studies to later become an airline pilot. The possibility of having an own aerodrome with no waiting times or commercial traffic interruptions make it a wonderful place for the instruction. Good aircraft maintenance and an excellent human team!

Jorge Roig

Perfect place to invest in studying an Integrated ATPL(A) Course. Thanks to its facilities with its own private aerodrome, that is always in constant evolution and improvements, its instructors whose education is constantly updating and with unique experiences within different airlines, make Airpull Aviation Academy leader in pilot training.
