We are proud to announce our new partnership with JET Aviation Services, a Part 61 flight school based in Illinois. As part of this collaboration, Kore Aviation becomes the official headset provider for the school, supplying our KA-1 headsets to support students in their early training, ground instruction, and discovery flights.
This partnership also brings exclusive headset discounts to students enrolled in JET Aviation Services as part of our broader commitment to pilot development across the country.
A Professional Approach to Training, Led with Experience
Founded and led by John Thompson, JET Aviation Services has earned a strong reputation for blending professionalism with a calm, student-focused environment. With experience as a sheriff, ATP, and multi-rated flight instructor, Thompson brings real-world knowledge into every flight lesson.
“My efforts in flight training are nothing more than professional,” said Thompson. “Students should always feel comfortable with their instructor, both in the airplane and on the ground. That comfort level makes the entire process more effective and enjoyable.”
Headsets That Help Students Stay Focused
The KA-1 headset has become a reliable tool in that process. Known for its passive noise reduction, noise-canceling microphone, soft gel ear seals, and clear audio, the KA-1 helps students stay focused and confident during every stage of their training. After seeing Kore’s presence at Oshkosh 2025 and testing the KA-1 with students and instructors, Thompson saw firsthand the impact it had.
“Student pilots already have a lot to process. The KA-1 reduces stress by delivering clean audio, both incoming and outgoing, so communication is never a distraction,” Thompson said. “When I think back to learning in aircraft with no intercom and poor speakers, the KA-1 is a major step forward. It gets my full support every day.”
Shared Commitment to Student Success
“At Kore Aviation, we are drawn to instructors who lead with experience, clarity, and care,” said Min Kim, President of Kore Aviation. “John’s passion for his students and his respect for the training process is clear in everything he does. We are proud to support JET Aviation Services and help their pilots train with the gear they deserve.”
This partnership reflects Kore Aviation’s broader commitment to working closely with flight schools that put students first. With more than 50,000 KA-1 units sold, Kore continues to provide trusted gear to training programs nationwide, helping pilots build strong foundations from day one.
