Scottish firm invests in new aircraft amid demand for pilot training

A SCOTTISH firm that trains airline pilots is investing £550,000 to purchase two additional aircraft in a bid to continue its growth.

ACS Aviation will make the move amid increase in turnover and the number of pilots in training, as the industry recovers from the pandemic.

It currently has 352 students in training for a pilot’s license, with 120 graduating this year – a 20% increase from 2022 – and the number of staff and contractors has increased from 55 to 60.
