Key Takeaways:
Paragon Flight Training anticipates a 60% increase in training hours flown this year, driven by record-high student enrollment.
This overwhelming demand has led to a significant backlog, with new student start dates extending into 2025.
To accommodate the growth, Paragon is expanding its staff, adding 50 Piper aircraft to its fleet by 2027, and acquiring more advanced flight simulators.
