COO of Scandinavian Aerospace Academy, Mubashar Kapur, is confident the academy will attract current and new students with the updated offerings.

This comes in addition to the current facilities with CAE simulatorer.
StoFlight Academy will continue to operate as usual during the transition period, and all current students and staff will be unaffected by the change in ownership. The company's new website, scandinavianaerospaceacademy.com, will be launching in the coming weeks.
"We are confident that Scandinavian Aerospace Academy will continue to be a leader in the field of aviation and aerospace education and training," Melhus. "We look forward to working with our students, staff, and partners to create an even brighter future for the company."
