Reviews
Agamya Sharma
Jalgaon base upgraded
Really great to see this aviation academy grow and evolve rather drastically. The Jalgaon base has got an upgrade and it's so worth it, unlike any other FTO in India. Would really recommend Skynex Aero to everyone looking to do their CPL, PPL or conversion flying training from India. Best wishes to Team Skynex.

Fleet grew from 3 to 18 in two years
I've completed my flight training from Skynex. I have been with the school since it had a fleet of 3, and now the same has expanded to 18 in the course of 2 years. That is tremendous growth, considering more aircraft are on order. But it's not just the fleet size that defines a flight school, it's the quality of training.
Nitin Choudhary
Completed CPL, praises the instructors
I completed my CPL successfully from Skynex Aero and what a journey it has been. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and patient in explaining both theory and practical flying concepts. Madhu ma'am has been a backbone for me in structuring my training from day one and has always supported me.

Communication and rescheduling problems
My experience with the institution has been disappointing, primarily due to ineffective communication from the management. Important information and updates are often not communicated in a timely or transparent manner. Training programmes are frequently rescheduled at short notice, causing significant inconvenience and uncertainty for students.
Vedanth Gowthham
Poor updates to joining students
The communication between the students and the management is very poor. The management is very unserious, they don't make proper communications and they don't give proper updates even when we are joining.

FAQ's
What does a CPL at Skynex cost?
Skynex's own CPL page gives a range of Rs.55 lakh to Rs.70 lakh for a standard CPL including Instrument Rating and Multi-Engine endorsement, noting the figure varies with fleet, aircraft type and simulator usage. Apano lists the upper figure of Rs.70,00,000 so you plan against the top of the institute's own published range rather than the bottom. Get a written, itemised quote - the gap between the ends of that range is Rs.15 lakh.
What does the CPL fee usually include?
Skynex lists ground school (air navigation, air regulations, technical general and specific, meteorology, radio telephony), 200+ hours of flying in real aircraft, simulator practice and instructor mentorship. Ask explicitly what is excluded - accommodation, examination fees, licence issue and type rating usually are.
How long does it take?
15 to 18 months: 3-4 months of ground school followed by 11-13 months of flight training.
Where does the flying happen?
Two airbases: Jalgaon, Maharashtra and Mehsana, Gujarat. Ask which base your batch will fly from, since that determines your living costs for over a year.
What aircraft will I fly?
A fleet of 18+ aircraft with full glass cockpits - Piper Archer DX, Cessna 172 and the twin-engine Tecnam P2006T - fitted with Garmin G1000NXi avionics. One student reports the fleet grew from 3 to 18 aircraft over two years.
Why does the in-house maintenance facility matter?
Skynex operates its own DGCA-approved CAR-145 maintenance organisation. For a flight school, in-house maintenance generally means less aircraft downtime - and aircraft availability is the single biggest factor in whether you finish 200 hours on schedule. Ask about typical monthly flying hours achieved per student.
Is Skynex DGCA approved?
Yes, as a DGCA-approved Flight Training Organisation.
What is the eligibility?
10+2 with Physics and Mathematics, minimum age 16, a DGCA Class I or Class II medical certificate, a police verification certificate, and written and verbal English fluency.
What is the ELP centre?
Skynex runs an English Language Proficiency training and testing centre at its New Delhi base. ELP certification is a DGCA requirement for licence issue, so having it in-house removes a step many candidates arrange separately.
What do students say?
The Jalgaon flying base holds 3.8 from 44 Google reviews as of August 2026, and the picture is genuinely mixed. Graduates describe completing their CPL with knowledgeable instructors and note the fleet expanding from 3 to 18 aircraft. Critical reviews, from more than one student, concentrate on management communication and training programmes being rescheduled at short notice. Read both sides on this page.
How does the cost compare with other CPL routes?
An integrated CPL in India runs roughly Rs.40-70 lakh; NFTI Gondia publishes Rs.42,00,000, and overseas routes add licence conversion cost and time. Compare total hours included, aircraft type, base location and what happens if you need hours beyond the minimum - that last one is where budgets usually break.
