Halladay Education Group is pleased to present School No. 346681, a profitable Western Canadian aviation training platform that integrates a Transport Canada–approved Flight Training Unit (FTU) within a provincially accredited private career college. The business is cash-generative, asset-backed, and built to scale, offering acquirers immediate entry into a capacity-constrained segment without the multi-year licensing and ramp-up cycle. Financial Snapshot - Normalized EBITDA: $910K (FY2024-25 average), scaling to $1.05M in FY2026
- Revenue Growth: $1.95M (FY2022) → $3.0M (FY2025) → $3.45M (FY2026F)
- Margins: Demonstrated 30%+ EBITDA margin profile
- Hard Asset Base: $2.6M, 11 aircraft fleet and Transport Canada-approved simulator
- Included Operations: integrated aviation maintenance function supporting fleet availability and continuity
Strategic Advantages Regulatory Fortress Transport Canada FTU approval, provincial accreditation, DLI status, and Student Aid eligibility. Programs remain eligible for PGWP under the current immigration policy. Replicating this regulatory stack would require 24 months and $3M+ in capital. Market Tailwinds Transport Canada projects a 7,300-pilot shortfall by 2025. Regional carriers report 18-24 month hiring backlogs, while training capacity remains severely constrained. Aircraft delivery times exceed 12 months industry-wide. Capital-Efficient Growth The current fleet supports a 35% enrollment expansion without the need for aircraft acquisition. Student-per-aircraft ratios improve from 21 to 31, demonstrating significant capacity headroom—growth driven by scheduling optimization and instructor hiring—not campus build-out. Smooth Transition Support Experienced management team in place with deep institutional knowledge. The owner is committed to a transition period to ensure operational continuity. Key instructor staff and administrative personnel remain with the business. Diversified Revenue Streams 30% domestic (financial aid eligible) / 70% international (DLI-approved), plus employer-sponsored cohorts and government-funded training initiatives. Vertically integrated maintenance operations support fleet availability and capture additional margin. The Bottom Line With pilot shortages intensifying and training capacity constrained, established operators with existing fleets and regulatory approvals hold a significant competitive advantage. This platform offers immediate access to aviation's structural growth trends without the multi-year permitting risk or the need for major capital deployment.
