“Our move to Shelbyville is an opportunity to expand and enhance our services for pilots and students across Central Indiana,” said a representative from Jeff Air. “While we were deeply disappointed by the City of Greenwood’s decision, we are incredibly grateful for the support of Shelbyville Municipal Airport and their commitment to fostering aviation education."
Despite the challenges of relocation, Jeff Air says it remains focused on providing high-quality flight training. Officials also say the school’s partnership with Indiana Wesleyan University will continue, providing students with hands-on aviation education. Jeff Air has also applied to the Veterans Administration to ensure veterans can use their GI Bill benefits at both the Anderson and Shelbyville locations.
