Abstract

In direct proportion to the development of aviation, the demand for airplanes and pilots is increasing. Piloting; it continues to be attractive among individuals who aim for a career as a profession that has wide travel opportunities, gives the opportunity to get to know different cultures and work together, and earns financially satisfactory wages. The increase in the number of people who want to become pilots has increased the demand for flight schools. The research conducted to determine the criteria affecting the flight school choices of pilot candidates was conducted with the data obtained from 168 participants, who are continuing their education and graduated from pilots. As a result of the research, the criteria affecting the choice of flight school were determined with 16 items under 4 factors. It has been determined that the most prominent items among the flight school selection criteria of the pilot candidates are the content of the training, flight teachers, training aircraft and the time required to complete the training. Determining the flight school selection criteria of the pilot candidates will be beneficial in creating the marketing strategies of the flight schools. Suggestions for marketing strategies were made to flight schools.
