Campus Details
SunState's Commercial and Private Pilot Academy is located at Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) in Kissimmee, FL.
SunState Aviation was founded by Steve Graham with a focus on locally significant
Vocational Flight training. Steve prided himself on word of mouth growth and proudly
declared that he had never advertised to build his brand.
Situated in a building that was custom-designed to be a vocational flight training
center and located near Orlando, the space was ideal for a small vocational flight
academy.
In 2023, SunState was purchased by Academy of Aviation, a New York based Aviation
Services Organization specializing in vocational flight training and diversified
supporting entities.
As a well established and credentialed organization, retaining the SunState name, FAA
Certificates, and business entities allowed the Academy to bring our time tested growth
and improvements to the Kissimmee airport without disrupting the existing student body.
Continuing to focus on student success, SunState is looking forward to an exciting 2025
by rethinking the student experience and creating a culture of success.
Identifying areas where improvements can be made and making these accessible to our
student body is driving the next phase of SunState Aviation's growth.
