From India to the Skies: TNC Aviation & Phoenix East Aviation Partnership
A Structured Global Pathway for Indian Pilots
There is a significant need for well-trained, competent professionals in the rapidly-expanding aviation industry in India. Due to the strong demand for pilots in India, TNC Aviation and Phoenix East Aviation (PEA) created and have operated a partnership since 2020 to give Indian students a direct pathway to obtaining FAA flight training in the United States, and subsequently, provide structured support for DGCA conversion and career guidance in India.
The TNC Aviation and PEA partnership offers students an opportunity to gain international flight experience while complying with Indian regulations and the requirements of Indian airlines.

The strength of this collaboration lies in complementary expertise.
TNC Aviation provides:
- Comprehensive DGCA exam preparation

Together, this partnership blends strong academic preparation in India with world-class flight training in the United States, creating a clear and reliable pathway for aspiring pilots.
Webinars with the PEA Team
In conjunction with PEA, TNC Aviation is putting on an aviation webinar series throughout the coming months.
The aviation webinar addresses issues related to Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Marketing and paves the way for Open-source Marketing Programs by allowing students and parents to connect with PEA.
Examples of topics that are discussed are: FAA training program, Visa application process, DGCA Conversion of Foreign Licenses, Financial Planning, Career progression in the Aviation industry.
The key objective is to promote transparency and assist participants in making educated decisions throughout every phase of their journey, from India to the USA and back with Internationally Recognized Credentials (IRCs).
What This Means for Indian Aviation
India’s air transport market is anticipated to be among the fastest-growing aviation markets globally. Therefore, India will require many thousands of new pilots in the next decade. The TNC-PEA pathway addresses this requirement for pilots through a structured way to train and develop internationally competent, technically proficient airline pilots that possess the skill base necessary to adapt to both Indian and global aviation standards.
There will be enhanced employability through this structured approach and fully prepare students for working as airline pilots, flight instructors, and other aviation-related careers.
A Long-Term Commitment to Global Aviation Careers
This partnership is more than just to enroll students; this partnership represents a long-term commitment to training globally competent aviation professionals. TNC Aviation and Phoenix East Aviation are committed to supporting students throughout their professional development, from the initial step of preparing for DGCA testing in India, through FAA certification training in the USA, and on into supporting international licenses and airline placement.
