Global Flight License Training Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2026-2032
Description
The global Flight License Training market size is predicted to grow from US$ 17315 million in 2025 to US$ 27244 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2026 to 2032.
Flight license training is a systematic training and assessment service provided to students to obtain different levels of pilot licenses (such as PPL private pilot, CPL commercial pilot, and ATPL airline transport pilot). It covers the entire process, including theoretical courses, simulator training, actual flight training, medical examinations, and exam management. Systematic training reduces learning errors and operational risks, shortens the certification cycle, improves the airline employment match rate for students, and significantly enhances safety and skill transferability through standardized operating procedures (SOPs) and high-fidelity simulator training, thus filling the pilot supply gap in the industry. The upstream market for flight license training includes investment in training fleets, simulators and software, fuel maintenance, and compliance qualifications. The cost per flight hour is approximately US$120–250, while the investment in an FFS Level D simulator can reach US$8 million–15 million. The accompanying CBT/LMS platform license costs US$200–500 per person per year. Downstream demand is driven by the fleet expansion and replacement needs of airlines and training centers, while general aviation operators, government agencies, and private universities also form a diverse customer base.
