Advertising and Corporate Partnership Opportunities with the
National Association of Flight Instructors

As the premier association representing flight instruction and flight instructors in the United States, getting your message out to our members can increase your influence on current and the next generation of pilots.

Our members have contact every day with active pilots and those individuals who are training to become pilots or advance their skills with new ratings or certificates. Our members work at FBO’s, large flight schools, universities, in industry positions, and as independent instructors throughout the aviation community.

NAFI staff works with industry and governmental organizations on a daily basis. Our staff, members, and publications are in a position to influence decisions that training providers make for product usage.

Getting your message out to these important members will without a doubt increase any company’s visibility within the aviation community. NAFI offers a variety of ways to do this including:

• Advertising in our monthly publication, Mentor Magazine;

• Advertising in our twice monthly e-publication, eMentor;

• Event Sponsorship; or

• Becoming a Corporate Supporter of NAFI

Taking advantage of the opportunity to use one or more of these mediums to present your company or product is something that you won’t want to miss.
