The Niagara Falls Flight Academy, in cooperation with Niagara County Community College, is developing a comprehensive flight training program headquartered at the Niagara Falls International Airport. Responding to increased demand for aviation professionals, the curriculum will satisfy both formal educational requirements and integrated pilot training per Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.

NCCC is currently working with the State University of New York and the New York State Department of Education to secure all necessary approvals for the degree program. Excitement around the program has already inspired a second phase, aimed at training avionics and airframe technicians.
