01 — The Story
Jashn Gulati, founder of The Pilot Port
Fort Lauderdale, FL26.1971°N

CFI at 19. Then I built the platform I wished existed.

I earned my CFI at nineteen — one of the youngest flight instructors in South Florida — and started teaching out of KFXE in a Cirrus SR20.

What I saw inside legacy flight schools wasn't a training problem. It was an infrastructure problem. So I built The Pilot Port — a full-stack aviation platform spanning flight training, lead generation, aircraft management, sourcing, and charter, with a proprietary tech layer called AeroTech underneath.

Today TPP operates out of KFXE in South Florida and KTKI in Central Texas, runs a six-aircraft fleet under Part 61 / 91, and manages aircraft for corporate clients across both coasts.

03 — The Pilot Port

Not a flight school.
A platform.

The Pilot Port is a vertically integrated aviation company operating out of KFXE (Fort Lauderdale Executive) in South Florida and KTKI (McKinney, TX) in Central Texas — a six-aircraft fleet running Part 61 and Part 91 operations.

Five verticals — training, lead generation and resale, management, sourcing and brokerage, and charter — sit on top of AeroTech, our proprietary tech layer. That's what separates us from legacy flight schools.

Bridging primary training to turbine.

Through select partnerships with established jet operators in Dallas and South Florida, The Pilot Port supports charter, aircraft management, and high-end client flow at the turbine and jet level.

I serve as the operational bridge — moving clients from piston training into turbine and jet operations without losing continuity.
