Support the Next Generation of Embry-Riddle Pilots. Join the Embry-Riddle Flight Society today!

You can be a part of the solution to the pilot shortage. Industry consultant Oliver Wyman projects a global gap of 34,000 pilots by 2025. Fortunately, for those of us who care about aviation, there is something we can do: Invest in the next generation of pilots who will carry our industry onward and upward.
To meet this pressing need, the university has established the Embry-Riddle Flight Society to bring together alumni, friends and industry partners to support the growth of the next generation of pilots—through the power of collective giving.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Flight Society brings together alumni, friends, and industry experts to support the growth of the next generation of pilots through the power of collective giving.
