Diarmuid O’Riordan, ASG’s founder stated: “We’re excited to announce our partnership with Skymates Flight Academy and our continued expansion in to the US Pilot training market. Established in 1996, Skymates is one of the most prestigious flight training academies in the US having successfully trained over 3000 Pilots at their purpose built facility in Grand Prairie (Texas) with a fleet of over 25 aircraft. We’re looking forward to working with the team at Skymates and we’re delighted to be able to make ASG’s high quality ATPL theory training available to their students at exclusive rates. Uniquely, with our hybrid classroom concept, Skymates’ students in the US will be able to login and attend our EASA Approved theory classes without ever having to travel to Europe. We have invested in 4K webcams, RØDE broadcast quality microphones, a dedicated instructor login station, and a classroom facing flat-screen display where the faces of those attending remotely will even be displayed to the students who are attending physically so that each student, whether attending physically or remotely, feels part of our classroom”.
