PART 135 MARKET IN SOUTHEAST

NOT A
COPY OF
DENVER.

Every Apex campus is built from scratch for its market. KFXE isn't a smaller version of KAPA — it's a completely different operation, designed around what Florida pilots actually need and what the southeast corporate aviation market demands.

Cessna-led primary training instead of Diamond. A Cirrus owner-pilot market that's larger than anywhere else in the country. And on the same ramp, a jet type rating program that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world at this scale.

ON THIS RAMP

APEX JET
ACADEMY.

FlightSafety and CAE train in simulators because simulators scale. We train in real aircraft because real aircraft is what the corporate flight departments, owner-pilots, and insurance underwriters at this level actually require. Thirty jets. All Apex-owned. Your schedule, not ours.
