Aerostar scam
This flight school is a scam. They are very quick to respond to queries when the potential student is registering for their course(s). Gives you the impression that they are a competent and efficient flight school. They also require you to pay the FULL course fees before you start their training program.
Once the training program starts however, they play to a different tune. They planned simulator maintenance during the agreed period of our training. This was not told to us until we started the course. This led to rescheduling and delays. A 16-day course was now extended to at least 4 weeks. And this extension did not necessarily guarantee completion of the training.
Many students have been affected by the delays. Extending our stay was not feasible especially for those who have travelled here from other countries. Aerostar administrators also become "less available" for students trying to reach out to them in light of the delays. They also informed that they apply a blanket policy of no refunds once the course starts. In short, Aerostar takes your money in full but takes very little responsibility thereafter. Potential students you have been warned.
