SunState Aviation (powered by Academy of Aviation)

SunState Aviation, now powered by Academy of Aviation, operates at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) with a Part 141 certification and an affiliation with the Delta Propel program—one of the most direct routes for aspiring pilots to reach the Delta Air Lines flight deck via Endeavor Air. The partnership with Academy of Aviation, which also operates in Long Beach, California, brings national training resources and standardized curriculum to the Kissimmee campus while maintaining SunState's local FAA certifications and community roots. Students here train in Central Florida's abundant VFR weather with proximity to the Orlando Class B and diverse cross-country destinations throughout the Sunshine State.
