Flight Training International, Inc.

Flight Training International, Inc., a veteran-owned, for-profit aviation training company headquartered in Comfort, Texas, provides specialized pilot classroom instruction, simulator training, and flight lessons to the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite delivery vehicle contracts, with no subcontract footprint. The company competes without set-aside designation on most work, though it holds a Total Small Business set-aside on its $5.3 million C-32A pilot simulator training IDV with Air Mobility Command running through September 2028.

Air Mobility Command (AMC) dominates the customer base and drives the business model. AMC accounts for 47 awards (44% of the total prime footprint) worth $66.8 million in combined potential value, and is the source of the company's two largest parent vehicles: a $6.54 million single-award IDV (FA445221D0001, running through March 2026 with 21 task orders) for C-40B/C pilot training, and the $5.3 million Total Small Business set-aside IDV (FA445223D0007, running through September 2028) for C-32A pilot simulator training. The Navy's Naval Air Systems Command accounts for a significant secondary concentration at $16.5 million across seven awards. The Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Command together contribute 24 awards worth $6.1 million. Other Air Force elements and the Federal Aviation Administration round out the customer set. The concentration is extreme: the top five customers account for 97% of combined potential value, with AMC alone representing roughly 71%.

Flight Training International's capability portfolio is narrowly specialized. The company delivers classroom and simulator instruction, plus flight lessons, for multiple military aircraft platforms — principally the C-40B/C (executive airlift, derivative of the Boeing 737-700/800), the C-32A (Operational Support and Executive Airlift), the KC-46 (tanker), and commercial variants including the Boeing 757 and 767 — to maintain pilot qualifications and operational readiness. Recent representative work includes a $971,675 FY26 C-32 training task order awarded November 2025 under the $5.3 million IDV; a $553,447 AMC delivery order for executive airlift pilot training through October 2026; and a $787,942 FY25 C-32 training task order awarded November 2024 under the Total Small Business set-aside. Place of performance centers on Virginia Gardens, Florida, with historical Denver, Colorado locations noted in earlier awards.

Activity has remained steady at four to five awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026 to date. The recompete cliff is minimal — only four awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating most of the company's installed base runs well into 2026 and beyond. The company has generated $94.1 million in combined potential value across 106 prime awards since 2008, with $43.1 million obligated, reflecting a backlog-heavy position typical of recurring training contracts. No subcontractor relationships are present in the source; Flight Training International operates as a standalone prime across all work.
