Help Save SKYangels SKYacademy – A Legacy Worth Fighting For

My name is Crystal, and I’m writing this in support of Steffany Kisling, the heart and founder behind SKYangels SKYacademy. If you’ve ever worked in the private jet industry, you’ve likely heard the name or flown alongside one of her students. For the past 14 years, Steffany has dedicated her life to helping hundreds of women and men take flight—literally—by launching successful careers in the world of private aviation.

I was one of those students. I graduated from SKYangels in 2019, and because of her hands-on training and mentorship, I was able to fly full-time and live out a dream I never thought possible. Even after I stepped away from aviation to answer a new calling—motherhood—I stayed closely tied to the academy as a virtual trainer. That’s how powerful the impact of SKYangels has been in my life and in the lives of so many others.

Steffany built this academy from the ground up, using her years of experience as a top-tier private flight attendant to design a program that goes beyond the basics. She didn’t just teach us how to serve clients with excellence—she instilled in us poise, professionalism, confidence, and the courage to chase dreams that once felt out of reach. These are skills that transcend aviation, shaping students into leaders in every industry they go on to join.

But now, Steffany needs our help.

Due to ongoing legal battles initiated by a small group of former students, SKYangels is being forced into a heartbreaking position. These individuals, despite having built successful flying careers, are pursuing claims that misrepresent the values and integrity of the school. Steffany is now facing immense legal fees, and the future of SKYangels SKYacademy hangs in the balance.

If we don’t rally together, she’ll be forced to shut down after 14 years of changing lives.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to ask for support—not just for Steffany, but for every dreamer who deserves the chance to earn their wings. SKYangels is more than a school. It’s a community. A launching pad. A second chance. A dream realized.

If you are a former student, a charter company who’s hired SKYangels-trained talent, or simply someone who believes in supporting women-owned businesses and the aviation industry, we ask you to consider contributing. Every dollar helps fight to keep this legacy alive. No donation is too small!

Let’s keep the skies open for the next generation of SKYangels.

With deep gratitude,

Crystal
