Just checked their website. I did not see any local/s in the management side. If they are ran by Iranians and Indians, then it is a little questionable, for me.
However, those ME airplanes are pretty. If what they are saying is true, applicants to operate in the charter or cargo ops after the training, then it is amazing I must say.
Just check first with CAAP about this FTO (safety records, airworthiness of the airplanes, student passing ratio, CFI experience, etc.) before enrolling.
Just my two cents

Yup, the owner is a reasonable & fair minded guy. A thumbs up to any Indian national seeking to start their career. :ok: Their CFI is also a very experienced and good pilot.

those two yellow airplanes there described as " used for aircraft charters" ...the Twin Bonanza Crashed about a year ago. The Yellow Baron RP-C 317,was repossessed by the real owner for non-payment of debts about a month ago. It is now in Busuanga airport with the left-hand engine having a broken crankshaft. :ugh:
