Onboarding a New Airline Client at a Part 142 Center

Landing an airline training contract is a milestone — and a setup challenge. Onboarding it cleanly protects the relationship and the revenue.

Set up the client account

The airline is a client account; its pilots roll up to it. Billing, records, and scheduling all hang off the account.

Confirm billing terms early

Currency, wire details (SWIFT/UETR), and payment schedule before training starts — not after the first invoice.

Screen for compliance

Run OFAC screening on the new counterparty at onboarding, and set up CTR flagging for large wires.

Map the curriculum

Confirm the approved curriculum and device qualifications for their training events. AviationAlley ties it together.
