These two schools were subsequently re-named as AAC Flight Academy and AAC Engineering Academy, respectively. 

Today, AAC’s operations consists of four business units, the AAC Flight Academy – flight training arm, AAC Engineering Academy – engineering education and technical training arm, AAC Technical Services – the Aircraft Maintenance Organization and the AAC Aviation Services – the commercial flight operation arm of AAC.
