ATP Flight School Expands to Dayton International Airport

By General Aviation News Staff · November 12, 2026 · Leave a Comment

ATP Flight School is opening a training facility at Dayton International Airport (KDAY) in Ohio, expanding the company’s national network to 87 training centers.

According to company officials, the Airline Career Pilot Program allows students starting with zero flight experience to earn their commercial pilot certifications and flight instructor ratings in approximately nine months. Students then transition through structured, airline-backed career tracks to complete airline hiring requirements.

The Dayton location also offers a four-week discovery program that allows prospective students to experience professional training and complete the initial phase of the syllabus prior to committing to the full career track.

“Opening at Dayton International Airport allows us to bring ATP’s structured approach to professional flight training to more aspiring pilots in southwest Ohio,” said Michael Arnold, vice president of marketing at ATP Flight School. “With airline pilots in high demand and many airlines not requiring a four-year degree, the Airline Career Pilot Program offers an alternative to traditional college and vocational options and an accelerated path to a high-earning, rewarding career as an airline pilot.”

ATP officials noted that class dates and introductory flights are currently being scheduled at the new facility.
