Ayla,
I don't think AFT should be used in comparison to AAA. Why? For the simple reason that AFT is a UK/JAA approved flight school - AAA on the other hand is not. Your comparing apples & pears.
A better comparison would be look at other FTOs that are also based in non-JAA member states such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada etc.
There are some fantastic flight schools in those countries with heritage, operational history, and proven track records.
All those non-JAA based FTOs issue ICAO licences by their respected national aviation authorities. How do the course fees of those academies compare to that of Ayla Aviation?
If the majority (60%) of Ayla Aviation's student body come from Bahrain, lets use the Bahraini Dinar as an example here. The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) is pegged to the US dollar.
Ayla's course fees = $90,000 USD which equates to BHD 34,000
What would 34,000 Bahraini Dinars buy you elsewhere in the world at today's exchange rates?
In Australia: 131,500 Australian Dollars
In New Zealand: 159,000 New Zealand Dollars
In South Africa: 876,428 South African Rand
In Canada: 110,200 Canadian Dollars
You'll probably find that if you take your 34,000 Dinars to any of those countries, you could train TWO pilots for the same price!
Now here is the big question. Does Ayla Aviation offer value for money?
