The North Carolina Global TransPark Authority will own the facility, with flyExclusive operating it under a long-term lease alongside significant private co-investment. The pilot training centre will allow flyExclusive to bring in-house more than $5m per year currently spent with out-of-state training providers, along with more than 8,000 hotel room nights annually associated with pilot training. “We are excited about continuing to invest and grow at the Global TransPark, and we look forward to breaking ground as soon as possible.” The company recently opened a corporate office in Raleigh to access a broader talent pool for sales, technology and operations roles.
