‘Misleading’ advertorial said college was a leading supplier of pilots

The Pilot Training College was wrapped on the knuckles by Britain’s Advertising Standards Authority two years ago for claiming to be a “leading supplier of commercial pilots to major airlines”.

An ‘advertorial’ for the company in an aviation magazine caused the controversy.

In the text PTC was described as “one of the leading suppliers of commercial pilots to the major airlines like Emirates, Flybe Virgin, Qantas and Ryanair”.
