How much does 2FLY Airborne cost?

2FLY Airborne does not publish a single fixed figure for its FAA Airline Pilot Program (zero to airline-track), so we do not list one rather than guess. You will need to request pricing from the academy directly. When you do, ask what the number excludes and how hours beyond the program's plan are billed, which is where academy costs usually move.

What does 2FLY Airborne's program include?

2FLY Airborne's published programs cover Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot and Multi-Engine (AMEL). On what it excludes, the academy states: No published figure, so there is nothing to check exclusions against.

Does going to 2FLY Airborne lower the 1,500-hour airline requirement?

No. An accelerated academy does not reduce the 1,500-hour ATP minimum. Only a qualifying aviation degree does, under 14 CFR 61.160, which lowers it to 1,000 hours for a bachelor's or 1,250 for an associate's. What an academy sells is speed and a fixed price to the commercial certificate and instructor ratings, not a shortcut to the airlines. Most graduates then instruct to build the remaining hours.

What 2FLY Airborne's program costs

A full-time, integrated career program sold as a package, not an hourly rate. 2FLY Airborne publishes the program and not what it costs, so there is no figure on this page and no estimate standing in for one. What is here is the program as the academy describes it, the source, and the questions that get you the number.

No published price

2FLY Airborne publishes this program and not a price for its program. We have not estimated one, because an academy price is a package rather than an hours times rate sum and there is nothing here to calculate it from.

No published price. Its own blog quotes 2026 market medians ('$180 per hour' aircraft, '$60 to $90' CFIs), which are industry explainers, not this academy's prices; do not budget on them.

What to ask when you call

The marked ones are what 2FLY Airborne's site never answers. The rest are what turns an hourly rate into a real bill.

What does the FAA Airline Pilot Program (zero to airline-track) cost, all in, starting from where I am today?Missing from their site
This is the figure the academy does not publish. Ask for it in writing, and ask for the date it was set: program prices move.
Is that a fixed price or an estimate, and what is it based on, FAA minimums or what students actually fly?Missing from their site
A fixed price and an estimate against FAA minimums are different products. The second one is a floor and most students land above it.
What is billed on top of it: examiner fees, written tests, the medical, headset and supplies, and any location premium?Missing from their site
Every academy that does publish a price excludes some of these, and the exclusions are where a sticker and a bill part company.
If I need more hours than the program allows, what do the extra hours cost per hour?Missing from their site
Without an hourly rate there is no way to price an overrun, and flight training running long is the normal case, not the exception.
What is the payment schedule, and what is refunded if I stop partway?
Academies take money up front. The refund terms decide what a change of plan costs you.
How many aircraft and full-time instructors do you have right now, and how many students are enrolled?
An accelerated program is a promise about pace, and pace is decided by that ratio rather than by the brochure.
What proportion of your last intake finished in the advertised time, and at the advertised price?
The single most useful question here. An academy that tracks this will tell you; one that does not has told you something too.

Figures are 2FLY Airborne's own published program prices, shown with the date we read them. They are not a personalized quote, and a student's actual cost will differ with location premiums, the fees the sticker excludes, and pace. Published prices generally assume the program's planned hours; flight training often runs over the FAA minimums, and how extra hours are billed varies by academy (some hold a truly fixed cost, others charge an hourly rate for additional time). Confirm the overage policy with the academy. An accelerated academy does not lower the 1,500-hour airline minimum; only a qualifying degree does, under 14 CFR 61.160.
