Thrust Flight Launches Phoenix Flight School Amid Soaring Demand for Airline Pilots
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thrust Flight, a premier U.S. aviation training partner known for its Zero Time to Airline® program, officially opened its newest flight school at Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Arizona, responding to a surge in demand for professional pilots across the Southwest. Marking its fourth location and first outside of Texas, Thrust Flight is expanding its proven model of accelerated, professional pilot training into one of the most aviation-friendly regions in the country. Classes are enrolling now, with the first cohort beginning August 25. 'Opening a campus in the Phoenix area allows us to continue to address the aviation industry's growing demand for qualified pilots,' said Patrick Arnzen, CEO and Founder of Thrust Flight. 'Our goal is to empower students to launch long-term aviation careers without wasting time or resources. With expanding Thrust Flight into Arizona, we're strategically positioned to develop the next generation of pilots and meet critical industry needs.' A Faster Path to the Cockpit Thrust Flight Phoenix offers the full Zero Time to Airline® curriculum, an accelerated FAA-approved Part 141 training program, designed to take students from no flight experience to certified flight instructors in as little as nine months. With additional time spent instructing, graduates can meet airline hiring minimums in just over a year. Unlike traditional programs, Thrust Flight students benefit from Examining Authority, allowing for the bypass of lengthy wait times, potentially shaving up to 18 weeks off training. First attempt exam and checkride fees are included in tuition, and full financing is available, offering students a more streamlined and transparent training path. 'Thrust Flight's program was designed with real people in mind, like mid-career transitioners, college alternatives and those who can't afford to sit on long waitlists,' said Arnzen. 'We give our students structure, support and clear expectations so they can succeed in not just training, but also throughout their fulfilling aviation careers.' Premium Experience, Launchpad for Careers Students at the Mesa campus will train on a fleet of Piper Archer TX aircraft, equipped with Garmin G1000 avionic and air conditioning – a critical necessity for Arizona heat. Multi-engine students will fly with Thrust Flight's Piper Seminole aircraft, providing preparation for similar aircraft used by regional airlines. Beyond the fleet, the facility offers comfortable classrooms, briefing rooms and access to unmatched mentorship. Students also benefit from Thrust Flight's career partnerships with major regional airlines, including SkyWest Airlines, Envoy Air, Republic Airways, Spirit Airlines, Air Wisconsin and Avelo Airlines, offering a competitive edge when applying for airline roles. Thrust Flight's Growing National Footprint With established campuses in Addison, Conroe and Denison, Texas, and now Mesa, Arizona, Thrust Flight is rapidly solidifying its position as a premier destination for aspiring aviation professionals. This latest expansion builds on the momentum of two recent program launches: a new Aircraft & Powerplant (A&P) Mechanic School in Conroe and FAA-approved Aircraft Dispatcher courses in both Addison and Denison. 'Our recent developments are just the beginning,' said Arnzen. 'At Thrust Flight we're building more than just a flight school; we're building an aviation training network that meets students where they are and takes them to where they want to go. We will continue to grow, innovate and shape the aviation industry, ensuring we meet the evolving demands of tomorrow's pilots and airlines.' About Thrust Flight Thrust Flight is a nationally recognized aviation training provider with locations across Texas. Over the past 15 years, the company has trained thousands of pilots through its flagship Zero Time to Airline® program, preparing them to fly for commercial airlines around the globe. Today, Thrust Flight offers a full suite of FAA-approved programs for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and flight dispatchers, supporting every stage of the aviation career journey.
