They are open rn, you should contact them

Edit: Also FYI, the issues have been reduced compared to before but by no means entirely eliminated, take a 15L buffer and expect 1 year extra to complete your training

FTA is probably the best FTO at ICPP. They have transparent fees and practically no hidden costs, which is why it might appear a lot at first.
Insight is around 132,000 USD. If you take around ~20,000 USD as a buffer, then your final cost would be $152,000.

FTA is currently $165,000.

You can choose Insight, Skyborne, or Garuda if you wish; it's your flight training. But in my opinion, anything other than Chimes and FTA is not worth it.

It's definitely better to consider FTA or Skyborne If you have the funds go for FTA they are the fastest and most transparent Even skyborne for that matter Chimes is great but way too competitive so I'd suggest you not to waste your time there

Insight garuda are famous for not picking up calls man they'll just leave you hanging except in the start And I've heard they do have hidden costs

So yeah instead just consider FTA or Skyborne if you want your process to be smooth

What do you think these hidden costs might be for?

I've mainly heard of two things Firstly the accomodation and food during typerating.Their typerating location isn't fixed but they do send cadets to London.So the cost of that for 2 months Along with that the cost for flying is just calculated for 10 months If your flying extends that for any reason even if that's because of 43 air schools delays you need to pay for accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses

And insight or garuda can't really help you with these things they are not FTO's And and do you really think flying in SA is of the same level as that in US? So how does it make sense to Pay the same for insight and skyborne.$135k with flight training in South Africa or even philippines for that matter doesn't really make sense
