Avenger Flight Group (AFG) is a company in the commercial aviation simulation and training business, supported by a solid financial structure and deep industry experience
Humble Beginnings
In 2013, with two Sim Industries Airbus A320 full flight simulators and nine local employees, Avenger Flight Group opened our first training center and headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Fort Lauderdale was chosen as the location for the first center and headquarters because of its offering of aviation transportation options. More than 700 daily flights to over 135 domestic and international locations are accessible from Fort Lauderdale, making it a phenomenal location for us to serve our customers.
Expansion at our Fort Lauderdale Center.
Over the last eight years, our Fort Lauderdale center has grown significantly! Now, almost 30 employees work at the FLL training center. The simulator count has grown from the original two simulators to four, with two additional simulators on the way. The building space has also been extended into the adjacent area, adding more office space and more simulator bays.
Dedicated Members
We are so proud of this growth and grateful for the dedication of our initial nine employees: Pedro Sors, Elsa Gagnon, Eduardo Carrasco, and Andres Restrepo, and along with five technicians, who worked tirelessly to serve our customers and build the foundation of our thriving company!
Did you know that the world’s first Airbus A330 NEO simulator is owned and operated by Avenger Flight Group? Would you believe us if we told you this Full Flight Simulator is available for any airline wishing to conduct A330 NEO training? Although this simulator is unique, it is not exclusive to any of our airline partners and is available for booking by your organization!
For the past eight years Avenger Flight Group’s Founder and CEO, Pedro Sors, has been transforming the model of flight simulator training worldwide! Through his innovative model, new generation technology can be available for all low-cost airlines.
In August 2020, at our training center in Madrid, Spain, AFG began the installation of the first Sim International Airbus A330 NEO Full Flight Simulator. Our Director of Flight Standards, Captain Pablo de León, and a team from Sim International worked together to execute multiple airworthiness, movement, and visual tests to ensure legal compliance and alignment to Airbus’s flight standards.
At the end of October, Airbus began the final acceptance tests for the simulator. One week later, on November 4th, 2020, Airbus announced their approval for the commercial use of our A330 NEO Full Flight Simulator.
On November 23rd, 2020, the certification process was submitted to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). After four full days of flight, technical, movement, and visual testing, the agency representatives expressed how highly impressed they were with AFG’s technical and logistic handling of the simulator. We are extremely proud of these results as there are very few training centers in Europe certified by the Spanish authorities, which maintains a reputation for being very strict in granting certifications.
Finally on December 4, 2020, AFG was awarded certification by the Spanish authorities allowing the commercialization of the world’s first A330 NEO simulator!
Warsaw, Poland – September 16, 2020 Avenger Flight Group, LLC, has launched Poland’s first commercial aviation training center in a joint venture with Enter Air, the largest charter carrier in Poland. The newly constructed space will feature a Boeing 737NG certified to level D by the Civil Aviation Authority of Poland (CAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The opening of the Warsaw training center marks the third European training center Avenger Flight Group has unveiled in 2020, after Madrid and Rome, to offer customizable training needs to European airlines. The inauguration was attended by officials from the Polish CAA, Enter Air board members and AFG personnel. The custom-built training center has capacity for six full-flight simulators and over 10,000 sq. ft. of modern classroom, office and briefing rooms. The facility is in the 7R City Flex Warsaw Airport I complex, near Chopin Airport.
“Today we celebrate the hard work of so many individuals who helped in the planning and execution of this great accomplishment. This is an incredible achievement given the challenges we have all faced this year” says Pedro Sors, chief executive officer at Avenger Flight Group. Mr. Sors went on to say “AFG is committed to the future growth of our airline partners and delivering more opportunities to an underserviced region”.
Enter Air intends to utilize 60% of the training capacity for their pilots, while the remainder of the available capacity will be offered to airlines in central and eastern Europe. Enter Air began operations in 2010 with a single 737 aircraft. Today, the airline’s fleet includes 22 Next-Generation 737s and two 737 MAX airplanes.
“A year ago, Pedro Sors, the founder of AFG, called me and asked if we were interested in cooperation. We decided to work together on a new project. Within a few months, a simulator was sent to Warsaw to start training our pilots on the Boeing 737. CAE, the world’s largest manufacturer of full-flight simulator equipment, supplied the Boeing 737 7000XR for training. Due to the pandemic, its launch has been postponed by several months” says Marcin Kubrak, member of the board of Enter Air.
About Enter Air: Enter Air is a Polish charter airline. Currently, the largest such company in Poland and the second largest airline in the region. Enter Air was created in November 2009.
