are they still in business?
Probably not for long. The company is for sale and some people from Abu Dhabi are looking into it but I don't think they’ll be able to close the deal. Ayla has too many debts.
Quite a disaster. The list of people that have left the company in the last few months is endless: student affair manager, HR manager, chief ground instructor, asst ground instructor, director's personal assistant (the fourth in 8 months!), IT manager, the 4 most senior flight instructors, two ground instructors and so on.
They sell the ground school as a JAA one just to make it more expensive. The fact is that Ayla has nothing to do with JAA at all. You'll get a JCAA (Jordanian) ticket. If you are after a JAA licence you have to restart everything from scratch including the whole ground school. Ayla is not JAA approved and everyone in the ME/Gulf area has realized it.
I hope desert_wind you haven't paid in advance.
