Flyence Greece, review
Hello all.
My name is Igor Kushch, I am a private pilot.
And I'd like to publish a fraud occasion with a Greek aviation school flyence.com.
Flyence got my payment, but provided no training and have not returned any money back.
On the 17.02.2022 I agreed upon a refresher training with Flyence for 1350 EUR, including:
1. 5 hours of ground school
2. 2 hours training, both instructors fees and aircraft rental fees included.
3. 1 hour LPC.
4. The exam fees and examiner's fee.
5. The aircraft is Cessna 172.
I have fully paid the training on the 18.02.2022.
The approximate date to start the training was the 08.03.2022.
In the end of February it became evident that it will not be possible for me to come to Greece due to airspace closures and my scheduled flight SU2110 (planned on the 07.03.2022) has been cancelled.
On the 01.03.2022 (a week in advance) I asked Flyence to cancel the training and make a refund.
Flyence agreed and promised to return the money back.
Since that I've been maintaining a conversation with them and kept reminding about the money back once a week, and they kept promising.
I spoke to Annie Columbri, Flyence's Business Development Director all this time.
She stopped answering my messages and continued to ignore me.
So, I have fully paid the training, 1350 EUR. I received no training. I received no money back.
There was even no any particular lesson booked, nor appointment made for me.
I am reporting about the case, because want to protect other pilots from such cases in future.
Best regards, Igor Kushch, a private pilot.
