Gulf Coast Aviation - Alexandria

Gulf Coast Aviation operates its Alexandria, Louisiana campus at Alexandria International Airport (KAEX), serving as a training hub for pilots in central Louisiana. As part of the Gulf Coast Aviation multi-location network — Louisiana's largest FAA Part 141 flight training organization — this campus extends the same structured curriculum, standards, and fleet capabilities available at the New Orleans flagship and other satellite locations in Baton Rouge and Houma. Central Louisiana's Alexandria campus serves a geographic area that might otherwise have limited access to structured, Part 141 certificated professional pilot training, providing an important resource for students from Pineville, Natchitoches, and the surrounding Red River Valley region. The international airport environment provides students with exposure to instrument approaches, controlled airspace procedures, and the operational complexity of a facility that handles both general aviation and commercial airline traffic.
