Flying Training
USA · Spain · Greece · New Zealand

Pilot training abroad in the USA, Spain, Greece or New Zealand — done right. We do not just recommend a school. We vet it, enrol you, get your visa, prepare your documentation, and stay with you from take-off to licence conversion.

Why Aerogenesis

Going Abroad Without
A Plan Costs Lakhs.

Students pick schools from Google ads. They skip DGCA medicals. They do not maintain dual logbooks. They return to India and discover their recency has expired, their paperwork is wrong, and conversion takes a year instead of three months.

Aerogenesis prevents every one of these problems — because we have seen every one of them.

Fleet Size + Condition

Modern glass cockpits. Multiple single and multi-engine aircraft. We check maintenance records and uptime data.

03

Actual Completion Data

How many students completed in the last 12 months and how long did they take. Not marketing claims — verified numbers.

04

Indian Student Track Record

Schools that regularly train Indian students understand DGCA logbook requirements and dual-logbook documentation.
