Adani Group Set To Enter Pilot Training With Key Acquisition

Adani Group is in advanced negotiations to acquire Flight Simulation Technique Centre, one of India’s leading pilot training companies, marking the conglomerate’s entry into the aviation training business. The deal is expected to be executed through Horizon Aero Solutions, a joint venture between Adani Defence Systems and Technologies and Prime Aero. The move aligns with the group’s wider strategy to strengthen its capabilities across aviation infrastructure, maintenance and defence services.

Founded in 2012, Flight Simulation Technique Centre operates full-flight simulator facilities in Gurugram, Hyderabad and Mumbai, and runs flying academies in Haryana, Surat and Solapur. The company has recorded rapid growth, reporting revenue of around Rs 2.145 billion and operating profit of roughly Rs 1.242 billion in the 2023–24 financial year.

Demand for trained pilots is rising sharply as India’s aviation sector expands. Industry estimates indicate that the country will require nearly 20,000 additional pilots over the next decade, while the wider Asia-Pacific region may need close to 98,000. This strong demand outlook is driving investment interest from firms looking to scale their aviation services.
