More about J.A Flight training

JA Flight Services was started in 2006 in preparation for JA Air Center’s move to Aurora Airport. 35-year aviation veteran and current Vice President of JA Air Center, Scott Fank, teamed with enthusiastic JA customer and long-time banking executive, Bruce Jacobs, to launch the flight training and charter operation at JA Air Center.

Originally started as a part 61 flight school and part 135 charter company with five employees, JA Flight Services has grown into an FAA-approved part 141 flight school, aircraft leasing business, and partner in one of the largest commuter airlines in the country.   Now, with more than 25 employees and seven late-model aircraft in the fleet, JA Flight Training is one of the fastest-growing flight schools in the Chicago area offering pilot training up to ATP rating (Airline Transport Pilot).  JA flight’s unique affiliation with Southern Airways Express offers a flow-through to the airlines quicker than any flight program in the country.
