Gulf Coast Aeronautical Services, a leading provider of aviation training and services, has announced the closure of its hanger and office at the DeFuniak Springs Municipal Airport, and has ceased FAA Part 61 & 142 Operations at the location.

However, the company has shared that it will be relocating its business office back to Freeport, FL while maintaining its FAA Air Agency Certificate 1GUX090K in Florida.

Despite ceasing operations at DeFuniak Springs Municipal Airport, Gulf Coast Aeronautical Services remains committed to serving local pilots in the Northwest Florida Area.

National airline transport pilot shortage

In response to the national airline transport pilot shortage, the company is actively exploring alternative avenues to provide pilot training services within the local area.

As part of the transition, Gulf Coast Aeronautical Services has announced the successful relocation of three positions to its state-of-the-art training centre in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas.

Training and services from Dallas, Fort Worth

This move ensures the company can continue delivering training and services while expanding capabilities at their Dallas, Fort Worth, TX, location.

Gulf Coast Aeronautical Services is also implementing an appointment-only system for its FAA Examiner Services in the local NW Florida area. Clients are encouraged to schedule appointments by contacting our Operations Manager at 800.588.9325 Ext 4. This change allows the company to manage resources effectively and deliver timely services.

Airline Transport Pilot Training Programmes

Gulf Coast Aeronautical Services reaffirms its commitment to providing exceptional training and support to clients interested in its Airline Transport Pilot Training Programmes.

The company said it valued the trust of its clients and will continue to offer comprehensive, industry-leading programmes to help aviators achieve their career goals.

The company invites clients to join the Airline Transport Pilot Training Programmes at its other nationwide locations.
