It has become very apparent that we have entered into a long period of financial stagnation which has lead to less work, lower pay and subsequently much lower disposable income being available. The length of this stagnation period is currently predicted at being of a 10 year duration and this poses great difficulty to all types of business especially flight training organisations.

In such times of recession, business must adapt to survive and simply operating in the same way as in the good times is a recipe for going bust. In terms of flight training provision during times of recession, the best business patterns are those of cooperative, mutual or alliance structures which aspire success to all players: customers, employees, employers, companies and investors alike.

The Delivery of quality cost effective training is challenging and in difficult times the main ingredient of a recession proof business (according to the "alliance" business model) is to group the best team of individual consultants available, structure them accordingly in an interacting framework (free trading environment) and keep the alliance operating effectively by strengthening and creating further alliances as required.

At Shoreham Aero Alliance has taken this "alliance" business pattern as the model framework and tailored it to General Aviation to offer the customer a one stop shop of high value flight training products delivered by the most experienced and qualified freelance GA flying instructors in Sussex. Allowing these professionals to develop their ideas has brought success and combining this with Aero Alliance marketing is delivering growth in new areas benefiting the professionals concerned.

It is paramount to the success of Aero Alliance that we continue to find the best deals for our students and well maintained reliable aircraft for our instructors to create a high quality professional training environment. By ensuring our students are getting the best value and keeping our instructors well rewarded and paid on time for their work, we know that success, enjoyment and a high quality pilot will be the result. In hard times, we believe environment for flight training must not only be competitive and vibrant but fun.

At Aero Alliance, we have developed a truly effective network of aerospace professionals which give our students some of the best flight training, advice and opportunities. We are an organisation which not only teaches you a standard syllabus, we also impart that knowledge which these high hour pilots have accumulated throughout their professional careers.
