About Us

Aero Academy Training Institute (AATI) will be the Caribbean’s first all-in-one aviation training hub offering pilot, air traffic control, and aviation maintenance programs under one roof based in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. With advanced tech, a global-standard curricula, and in-house certification, AATI will eliminate the need for top-up training abroad and provide a local solution for new and recurrent training across the region.

Our vision was created by our founder, Rochell Roache-Lanza, who overcame incredible barriers to achieve her dreams of becoming a Captain at a major airline. Inspired by her journey, AATI is dedicated to breaking down those same barriers and creating pathways for local talent within the region and attracting international students to the Caribbean.
