ABP unveils first textbook for private aviation charter brokers

Aircraft Broker Program has released a 350-plus-page textbook built for private aviation charter brokerage students, with initial access limited to ABP enrollees. The company plans to sell the book separately later in 2026 as it expands its training and career-support offerings.

Why it matters: - ABP is filling a niche gap in private aviation education with a textbook focused specifically on the charter broker role. - The book is meant to help students learn faster, retain more, and keep a reference they can use after training. - The release strengthens ABP’s training stack with a longer-term learning asset, not just a course.

What happened: - Aircraft Broker Program announced the release of The World of Private Aviation – The Charter Broker Edition, a 350-plus-page textbook for the private aviation charter brokerage industry. - ABP says its research indicates the book is an industry-first dedicated textbook for private aviation charter brokerage and the charter broker role. - The textbook is being released first to ABP students. - ABP plans to make the textbook available for standalone purchase later in 2026.

The details: - The book was built as a companion to ABP’s online certification program. - The textbook follows the same structure, flow and logic as the ABP curriculum. - ABP designed the book to support students during training and after they enter the private aviation industry. - The content includes private aviation concepts, industry terminology, charter brokerage concepts and practices, illustrations, knowledge-check quizzes, and “Did You Know?” boxes. - The textbook is structured around the ABP curriculum. - Younes Ezzaki and Frederic Perez wrote the textbook. - Ezzaki is ABP’s general manager and brings 16 years of sales and marketing experience plus private jet broker experience. - Perez is ABP’s program director and content builder, with nearly 30 years of aviation experience. - Perez said the goal was to create something students could use throughout training and beyond. - The textbook is available as an add-on in the Starter and Advanced tiers, and it is included in the Professional tier. - Starter tier pricing is $499, with the textbook available for $119. - Advanced tier pricing is $699, with the textbook available for $59, or 50% off. - Professional tier pricing is $999, with the textbook included. - The textbook is not currently sold separately. - ABP’s broader student support package includes 6 months of Moove access, 6 months of Pipedrive access, a real private aviation contract package, a professional branding kit, resume review, interview support and brokerage matching, a website private jet search engine, and ongoing mentorship after training. - ABP said the textbook adds another long-term educational resource to that ecosystem. - More information is available here.

Between the lines: - The release signals that ABP is trying to own a specialized corner of aviation training where formal reference material appears limited. - Packaging the textbook with tiered training access may help ABP upsell students while making the course feel more career-ready. - The standalone-purchase plan suggests ABP sees demand beyond current students once the initial rollout is complete.

What's next: - ABP plans to open standalone sales of the textbook later in 2026. - The company will likely use the book to deepen its positioning in private aviation brokerage training as the broader market gains access. - ABP students will continue to get the book as part of the current launch structure, depending on tier.
