As an Egnatia Aviation director I am in a position to inform you that there is no VAT on any 'professional ' training in Greece. This is country regulation and not an Egnatia special aranagement with the tax authorities (we managed to be included in the correct list!!). There are some charges that we are now aware of, and combined with the fuel and instructor rates increased cost, they are forcing us to increase our prices soom. At presnt these charges are absorbed by the company. Our prices will still remain very low and well below the cost if VAT was added at the end.
We will of course honour the prices given to
enrolled students - so be quick!
Professional training is considered any of the ATPL modules, including the PPL if the student continues the training so it becomes an ATPL module.
The website has not yet been updated for 2 reasons - firstly we also need to update the rest of the sales and school material (they take longer than the web) and secondly we are still discussing the costs in some of the training packages we have recently introduced such as the FI course and conversions to JAA.
I do appreciate the need to update the web site with this information quickly. We always read with interest all your comments and discussions (we treat it as feed back) so please keep posting. This is a very usefull forum for all of us.
I hope the above helps. Give us a call or visit if you want to discuss anything or for further information.
Happy landings!!!!!
