The training is offered in conjunction with its UK partner, Atlantic Flight Training  of Coventry, and will be carried out at Ayla's ground school facility at Aqaba on the Red Sea coast.

Ayla currently offers an ICAO Jordanian CPL/IR issued by the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission
(CARC) with a Frozen ATPL, an ICAO CPL/IR with fully approved JAA ATPL theoretical knowledge with
Frozen ATPL, and a joint program with AFT in which cadets can obtain a fully approved JAA license by
completing a majority of their training at Ayla in Aqaba, Jordan and the remainder at AFT in Coventry,
UK.


Ayla Aviation Academy was founded by FTO Holdings in coordination with AFT, in late 2006 and
commenced its first ab initio course in April, 2007. Ayla Aviation Academy’s CEO, Marwan Atalla said
“ Using both schools, Ayla and AFT, we are able to provide cadets with a fully approved JAA license, making them more marketable and competitive in the global market.”

Ayla has graduated 95 students from various countries including Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain,
Oman, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and India. Ayla is among the first of the UK’s Flight Training Organisations to obtain the new UK Border Agency licence to sponsor international student visas.
