Marshall University and the Greenbrier Valley Airport (KLWB) are partnering to establish a new satellite flight school at the West Virginia airport.
The collaboration will provide a Part 61 flight training program for residents in southern West Virginia, according to university officials.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Marshall University to bring this aviation training program to the Greenbrier Valley,” said Martha Livesay, director of Greenbrier Valley Airport. “This is a significant milestone for the airport and our entire region.”
The airport is providing facilities, including classroom space, briefing rooms, and hangar space for Marshall’s aircraft.
Marshall will offer a full complement of flight training for pilot certificates done on-site, while the remainder of the university’s Professional Pilot, B.S. degree program will be completed online.
However, you don’t have to be seeking a degree to learn to fly through the program, university officials noted.
Marshall already operates flight schools at Yeager International Airport in Charleston, West Virginia; Wheeling-Ohio County Airport in Wheeling, West Virginia; and Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport in Martinsburg.
