American Airlines Cadet Academy

Take the Fastest Path to the Flight Deck

Infinity Flight is proud to lead the American Airlines Cadet Academy presence on the East Coast, with training available at both our Trenton, NJ and Fort Pierce, FL locations. The AA Cadet Academy program offers an accelerated commercial pilot pathway that includes customized training, financing through the American Airlines Federal Credit Union, consistent student/pilot mentoring from American Airlines, and a conditional job offer with one of American’s regional carriers, Piedmont, PSA, or Envoy.

As one of the very few flight schools in the country granted FAA self-examining authority, IFG has the ability to conduct official checkrides in-house with our own approved examiners. This distinction saves students valuable time and money by eliminating delays associated with waiting for outside Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs), ensuring a more efficient, reliable, and student-focused training experience.

Let us get you on a direct flight path to the world’s largest airline.
