A Salem school whose fee, fleet counts and student numbers exist only inside its own JavaScript bundle, and whose counts match the regulator's exactly.
Ekvi Air trains at Salem in Tamil Nadu and it is the strangest source in phase 2. Its site serves an empty shell, so nothing on it can be read without running the page's code, and every figure on this page came out of the school's own JavaScript bundle. That is still the school publishing it, but it means a student cannot check the price by opening the page and reading it.
What that bundle holds is a disclosure grid: the commercial licence fee, a private licence fee, the aircraft counts, the number of instructors and designated examiners, how many students have been trained and the expected course duration. It is a complete little dataset that happens to be invisible without a browser doing the work.
One thing to note in the school's favour. Its stated aircraft counts match the regulator's list exactly, single engine and multi engine both, which is rarer in this directory than you might expect. It names no aircraft types, so the types on this page are the regulator's.
The regulator prints approval 01/2023 against this organisation, records its ownership as Private Ltd, and gives the approval as valid to 5 July 2028.
The site's own disclosure card says 5 single engine and 2 multi engine, which matches the regulator's counts of 5 and 2. No aircraft types are named on the site.
The site renders nothing without JavaScript, so a plain fetch of any of its pages returns an empty shell and every quotation on this page was read from the code the site ships to draw itself, checked 8 September 2026.

DGCA ranking, 1 April 2026 edition: Category B, printed at serial 12. It was Category C in the 30 September 2025 edition, so this is a move in the regulator's own letters between the two.
The regulator publishes a letter and a serial number and no score at all, so there is nothing behind the letter to inspect and nothing here to rank schools against each other by. The bands the letters come from, and how many organisations sit in each on this edition, are set out on the flying schools in India index.
| What you pay for | Amount | What the figure is |

| Commercial pilot licence course, the school's own published total | ₹54,85,050Published | As the source prints it: Course Fee for CPL: Rs 54,85,050 |
| PPL course fee | ₹16,50,000Published | Charged separately from the course total. |
Every figure above: read from the school's own site, read from the JavaScript bundle that draws its disclosure grid, checked 8 September 2026.
Enquiry form on the site with a course dropdown (PPL, CPL, IR and others); no published admission steps or intake dates.
Site B, Salem Airport, Kamalapuram, Omalur, Tamil Nadu (the same Salem base the regulator lists, given more precisely)
The school states neither what its commercial licence fee includes nor what it excludes, so the figure stands on its own with nothing around it.
No admission steps, entrance test or intake dates are published, only an enquiry form with a course dropdown.
Nothing above is the whole cost of becoming a pilot. Our pilot training cost in India page has the full stack from the medicals to the type rating, and CPL course fees in India puts this school's licence figure next to the rest of the market.
Because the page arrives empty and the text is drawn by the browser afterwards. If the page looks blank to you, that is the site and not your connection. The figure on this page came from the school's own code, which is still the school's own publication.
Yes. Both the regulator's list and the school's own disclosure record multi engine aircraft on strength, and the two counts agree, which is worth something on a page full of schools whose numbers do not.
The school does not say. There is no inclusion list, no exclusion list and no instalment schedule against it, so this page carries the amount with its label and nothing more.
