ATP Flight School Adds 54 New Cessna Skyhawks in 2025

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATP Flight School accepted its fifty-fourth Cessna 172 Skyhawk delivery of 2025. This fleet expansion grew ATP's nationwide Cessna fleet to 327 and its total fleet to 663 airplanes. The Skyhawks were part of a broader order for more than 135 Skyhawks through 2027.

The deliveries enhance safety and reliability for ATP students with a proven and dependable training platform featuring the latest Garmin G1000 avionics. The aircraft arrive at the end of a busy summer season for ATP's airline-bound students, who flew nearly 80,000 flights and over 152,000 safety-focused flight hours from June through August, leading to 588 Airline Career Pilot Program graduates. The additional aircraft expand ATP's capacity to train the next generation of airline pilots at a time of unprecedented long-term industry demand. Alongside new training centers in Albuquerque, NM; Farmingdale, NY; and Oakland, CA, ATP's fleet is on track to surpass 700 aircraft by 2027, further strengthening ATP's ability to provide students with an industry-leading airline career solution.

This continued growth comes as Boeing projects that North America alone will need approximately 119,000 new pilots over the next 20 years, underscoring the critical role ATP plays as the largest provider of new-hire pilots to the nation's regional airlines.

"At scale, ATP has one of the youngest, most advanced training fleets, and the continued investment in new aircraft demonstrates our shared commitment to the safety and success of our students," said Michael Arnold, VP of Marketing, ATP Flight School. "Providing students with a complete airline career solution, backed by a reliable and trusted fleet of aircraft, is what makes ATP the number one flight school chosen by airlines and airline pilots."

Concluding ATP's 2025 aircraft deliveries will be the arrival of seven multi-engine Piper Seminoles in the fourth quarter. An additional 40 Skyhawks are scheduled for delivery in 2026.
