Key Takeaways:

Paragon Flight Training significantly expanded its fleet in 2022, adding 10 new Piper aircraft to reach a total of 25, and plans to acquire 30 more over the next five years.
These investments include a 28,000 sq ft facility expansion, new simulation technology, and increased staff, all aimed at supporting a growing student population.
The expansions are largely driven by the launch of their new FAA-accredited Professional Pilot Program, demonstrating a strong commitment to the flight training industry.
Despite facing challenges like Hurricane Ian, Paragon Flight Training successfully achieved its growth objectives and continued its investment in training capacity.
