Flight Experience is the most advanced and authentic flight simulator available to the entertainment industry today.
The replica Boeing 737 cockpit, with its wraparound scenery and high-fidelity sound and visual systems, delivers an environment that’s so genuine – it’s just like the real thing. So real in fact that the Flight Experience simulator has been certified by international Civil Aviation Authorities to allow commercial pilots to log hours for part of their instrument ratings.
Flight Experience is not a game; it’s a total immersion experience where all your senses tell you you’re actually flying a jet airliner. Backed by a dedicated Research and Development team, the leading edge simulator technology is continually evolving to keep the consumer experience exciting and fresh.
Customers choose from an array of flight packages designed to suit any age, gender or preference. Experience is not necessary because full instruction is given. Flights are extremely popular as gifts purchased by women for men, so Father’s Day and Thanksgiving are peak selling times. But it’s not just a ‘guy thing’; women, children, teenagers and thrill seekers of all ages love the excitement and challenge of captaining a commercial aircraft!
The business
Launched in New Zealand in 2005, the Flight Experience franchise network is currently operating in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand. Now we’re launching in the United States, bringing a truly novel entertainment experience that will delight customers and create a groundbreaking business opportunity.
Our growth in the US will be spearheaded by the establishment of stores in several states, where opportunities now exist for exceptional franchisees with the ambition and determination to take a great product and make it fly.
Our stores will be sited in high profile locations with good foot traffic or visibility from main routes. The premises need to be of a size and configuration to best display the simulator’s liveried fuselage and galley as well as Flight Experience’s range of aviation-related gift and entertainment merchandise. We will work with local real estate agents and tap local knowledge to facilitate site selection, and will provide hands-on assistance with the installation process.
Is this right for you?
Flight Experience’s US franchisees will be outstanding individuals with the attitude and personality to make a success of their enterprise.
Prospective franchisees should have a passion for aviation, people and business. They will have an entrepreneurial spirit, while at the same time fitting comfortably within the boundaries of the franchise system.
