*This Business Is still operating*

The Airolina Young Aviators Program (AYA) was created by as part of Airolina Flight & Music Support, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. AYA is an aviation STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) program for students ages 14-17 often from low-income families. The program provides professional introductory flight training, mentorship and a Basic (Private) Pilot Certificate.

Students learn how to fly directly from Mr. Warren Wheeler, who established Wheeler Flying Service (Wheeler Airlines), the first African American owned and operated air service in the United States. You can learn more about Warren, and Warren Airlines, in the Ebony, April 1976 article that is shared in our photo album.

Airolina Young Aviators (AYA) provides training for youth to become pilots. The training experience provided would cost in excess of $250k. Airolina provides this opportunity to youth ages 14-19 at no cost. Please help this most worth organization to thrive and continue to offer flight training, purchase fuel and airspace, maintain our flight simulator in state-of-the-art condition and provide all the support services needed to help students achieve their goal.
