Our vision
An exceptional vision, a one-of-a-kind path
From the very beginning, ESA (ESA) has pursued one clear goal: to train tomorrow's airline pilots by rethinking the standards of aviation training. Since 2019 we have built a solid reputation on an innovative approach and programmes you will not find elsewhere, while staying true to our original mission.
ESA set out to build a flight school that answers the real needs of the aviation industry.
Our programmes: excellence and innovation
We are proud to offer courses that break with the traditional mould:
- Dual BUT-GEII / Airline Pilot programme: Run with CY Cergy Paris Université, this course combines a solid university degree with rigorous flight training to produce highly qualified pilots.
- Airline Pilot programme (PDL): A course with no equivalent in France, delivered entirely in Crete, giving students a genuinely international experience. Over 18 months it combines intensive learning with full immersion in a professional environment.

A future driven by innovation
Since 2019, ESA has redefined the standards of flight training through a bold vision and a constant drive to innovate. We have risen to the challenge of building courses that match the demands of a sector in permanent change.
Our ambition is clear: to keep enriching our programmes, to bring in leading-edge technology, and to prepare our students to excel in an ever more demanding aviation environment. Together, we are building the aviation of tomorrow.
“Our mission is to bring our students up to the highest standard the market demands, so they are as employable as possible.”

Our exclusive partner
Since 2020, Cretan Eagle Aviation (CEA) has been ESA's exclusive partner. The school was selected from more than 200 flight schools across Europe as the one that matched ESA's requirements and quality standards most closely.
Today CEA is far more than a partner: it is a full member of the ESA family, taking an active and integral part in our training.
