ATP Flight School Expands Airline Pilot Training in Ohio with New Locations

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATP Flight School is expanding its footprint in Ohio with two new training centers, bringing professional airline pilot training to aspiring pilots in Columbus and Akron-Canton. As the nation's leading supplier of airline pilots—and the only flight school partnered with all three legacy airlines—ATP now offers more access to a proven path to the airlines.

These new locations join ATP's existing Cincinnati training center, giving students three convenient options in Ohio to enroll in the Airline Career Pilot Program. This program takes students from zero experience to airline pilot in just two and a half years. Unlike recreational flight schools, ATP offers a career-focused, airline-oriented training path backed by 39 airline hiring partnerships, access to cadet programs, and airline-sponsored tuition reimbursement.

"With industry forecasts projecting a shortfall of over 28,000 pilots by 2030, pilots starting training today with ATP will position themselves ahead of the demand and be able to take advantage of the best competitive offers," said Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing, ATP Flight School. "We're excited to expand this opportunity to career-minded pilots in Ohio with increased access to a no-compromise airline career solution that puts them on a proven path to becoming an airline pilot."

Located at Lunken Municipal Airport (LUK), Ohio State University Airport (OSU), and Akron-Canton Regional Airport (CAK), ATP's Ohio training centers give students access to a nationwide network of resources, support teams, examiner availability, and a fleet renowned for its quality, reliability, and safety. ATP invests in more new aircraft each year than most schools have in their entire fleet and leads the industry in maintenance operations, fleet modernization, and safety infrastructure—including real-time flight monitoring and dedicated safety teams.

ATP is now scheduling summer class dates. Aspiring airline pilots in the region are invited to experience ATP at any of its Ohio locations—or 83 training centers nationwide—by taking an introductory admissions flight. To learn more or to get started, visit ATPFlightSchool.com.
