    [ad_1]


    JACKSONVILLE, Fla., February 19, 2025 (Newswire.com)
    –
    ATP Flight School is launching a new initiative to provide eligible alumni with free Airbus A320 type rating programs and Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Programs (ATP CTP). Each quarter, ATP alumni will have the opportunity to be randomly selected to receive one of these training programs, free of charge, to help advance their careers. With its Part 142 airline training center, ATP is one of the few flight schools in the nation with the capability of providing this advanced training to its alumni, and to do so at no cost.

    With over 25,000 graduates, ATP JETS is the largest provider of ATP CTP training in the nation. Facilities in Dallas and Orlando, frequent class start dates, and a convenient Virtual Instructor-Led Training option have made ATP JETS the preferred ATP CTP provider for many of the nation’s regional carriers. Major airlines also choose ATP JETS’ type rating and carefully tailored jet transition programs to provide direct pilot pathways for ATP graduates at 1,500 hours.

    Each quarter, beginning in March 2025, ATP graduates will have the opportunity to be selected for free advanced training, with one alum eligible for the ATP CTP at JETS (valued at $4,295) and one active ATP instructor eligible for the Airbus A320 type rating program (valued at $10,850). The entire cost of these programs will be paid for by ATP.

    “ATP is deeply committed to the success of alumni, and what many may not realize is the substantial financial investment we make to continue supporting our students long after they graduate,” said Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing, ATP Flight School. “Through the no-cost, no-fee Alumni Association, ATP has saved alumni over $750,000 dollars by covering the cost of their Flight Instructor Refresher Course through King Schools. ATP is proud to add to this investment by giving graduates a unique opportunity to gain the competitive edge and advance their qualifications by providing up to $15,000 of training for free.”

    After completing the Airline Career Pilot Program, ATP alumni and instructors gain access to a comprehensive suite of career development resources. These include job placement assistance, resume services, 38 airline hiring partnerships, exclusive discounts, access to networking events, airline-sponsored tuition reimbursement, and more. The addition of the free type rating and ATP CTP offering further underscores the value of being an ATP graduate, providing an exclusive opportunity to enhance qualifications and stand out as highly professional and qualified pilot applicants.

    PHOENIX, June 26, 2024 (Newswire.com)
    –
    AeroGuard Flight Training Center, a leader in the flight training industry, has recently exceeded 100 planes within its growing aircraft fleet, passing a significant milestone. AeroGuard has seen rapid growth this past year not only in its fleet, but also in student enrollments, instructor hiring, campus expansion, and notable airline partnerships. 

    Throughout 2023, AeroGuard added 25 planes to its fleet in addition to placing a 90 aircraft order with Piper Aircraft. Its aircraft acquisition continued into 2024 as a further 10+ planes have been added, supporting its business growth and expansion and now exceeding 100 aircraft in its fleet. As its 90 aircraft order begins deliveries this year and the school moves forward with further aircraft acquisition, AeroGuard plans to more than double its fleet in size and establish the capacity to train up to 2,000 students across its three U.S. campuses.

    AeroGuard has established itself as a leader in the pilot training industry, producing high-quality pilots for the airline industry on a global scale. AeroGuard is the flight training provider for Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong’s leading airline, India’s flag carrier Air India and Taiwan-based China Airlines, alongside other global airlines.

    In addition to its International airline partnerships, AeroGuard partners with SkyWest Airlines for its Pilot Pathway Program as well as Arizona State University as part of its B.S. Aeronautical Management Technology program. Through these programs, AeroGuard trains domestic U.S. students for their future careers, establishing a pipeline of highly qualified instructors with the opportunity to build their FAA-required 1,500 hours, and providing a direct path to the airlines. 

    AeroGuard’s CEO Joel Davidson spoke on the milestone stating, “This is an exciting achievement for AeroGuard as we continue to expand our fleet and operations on a global scale. Exceeding 100 aircraft in our quickly growing fleet is a testament to our dedication to providing the highest-quality training experience for our students. Each aircraft represents an opportunity for our student pilots and instructors to achieve their goals, become professional pilots, and establish themselves as industry leaders.” 

    As AeroGuard celebrates this milestone, it looks forward to continuing its reputation for excellence and high-quality pilot training. With the school having more than 100 planes in its fleet, along with a pipeline of flight instructors, it has the capacity and growth to remain a leader in the industry and establish highly skilled commercial pilots for leading airlines across the globe.

  • ATP JETS Graduates 20,000th Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CTP) Student

    ATP JETS Graduates 20,000th Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CTP) Student

    [ad_1]


    IRVING, Texas, November 28, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Dallas-based ATP JETS has graduated its 20,000th Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CTP) student. Training nearly 500 pilots per month at its 29,380 sq. ft Part 142 airline training center in Irving, TX, ATP JETS has scaled to become the largest provider of CTP training to the nation’s airlines. 

    Nearly 50% of all new hire airline pilots attend ATP JETS for their CTP training, sponsored by their airline. Since first offering the program in 2015, ATP JETS has been trusted by 57 air carriers to deliver this FAA-required training through a commitment to providing airlines with the most professional, flexible, cost-effective training solution possible. Recently, ATP JETS became the first in the nation approved to deliver Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) for the ground school portion of the program. This innovative approach not only saves airline partners thousands in travel and hotel logistics but also provides students with a better learning experience while delivering the same proven training effectiveness.

    Beyond ATP CTP training, airlines rely on ATP JETS’ advanced training capabilities to provide fully tailored programs and recruitment solutions. Innovative direct and jet transition programs effectively deliver airline-ready pilots at 1,500 hours – transitioning them from general aviation flying to advanced, highly automated turbine aircraft operations in a complex airline environment. As a Frontier Airlines Cadet and Airline Career Pilot Program graduate, Travis Sowers not only had the honor of being recognized as the 20,000th ATP CTP student but is also participating in just such a program.

    Each direct program is customized to the individual airline’s needs, combining an enhanced ATP CTP with a jet transition course and even a complete Airbus A320 type rating in Frontier’s case. Year to date, ATP JETS has transitioned nearly 300 pilots to Avelo, Frontier, Spirit, and Sun Country through Direct Programs at 1,500 hours. The majority of these pilots are graduates of ATP Flight School’s Airline Career Pilot Program.

    With the delivery of five new, state-of-art Airbus A320 Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) in 2023 and increasing efficiency through the introduction of VILT, ATP JETS is positioned to continue its growth and meet historic levels of pilot hiring and the demands of its airline partners.

    JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla., November 18, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    On Thursday, ATP Flight School took delivery of five new Cessna Skyhawks and surpassed the fleet milestone of 500 aircraft. Each new plane brings ATP students a state-of-art training platform with Garmin’s G1000 NXi Integrated Flight Deck. The Skyhawks join the 86 new aircraft ATP has taken delivery of since 2020 and will be used exclusively for airline pilot training and career development.  

    ATP’s investment in new aircraft is paired with equal investment in flight safety and monitoring. ATP recently completed a 40% expansion of its operations center in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to accommodate growing safety and quality assurance teams. To support the safe operation of 500 aircraft, ATP’s safety department integrates an airline-based Safety Management System (SMS) and provides Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) through real-time oversight of all training flights using ADS-B technology.

    “Reaching the milestone of a 500 aircraft fleet is significant, not just in scale, but for the operational support required to provide a safe and dependable training environment for our students,” said Michael Arnold, Director of Marketing, ATP Flight School. “The capabilities and advancement of ATP’s flight operations center mirror that of airlines, with maintenance, flight operations, flight safety, flight standards, and quality assurance teams working in unison to promote a high level of safety and support for our students. The milestone of 500 planes is only made possible through the commitment each ATP team member has to the training success of our students and providing a reliable state-of-art fleet operated in a safety-focused environment.”

    As the leading provider of new hire airline pilots, ATP’s fleet expansion will increase capacity to graduate 20,000 airline pilots by 2030. Deliveries of an additional 85 new aircraft are scheduled throughout 2023 and 2024.
