ATP Flight School Expands Fleet with Over 60 New Aircraft in 2025

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ATP Flight School, the nation's leading supplier of airline pilots, expands its fleet with 61 factory-new aircraft in 2025. The deliveries include 54 Cessna 172 Skyhawks, equipped with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, and seven Piper Seminoles featuring Garmin G1000 flight decks. These aircraft join ATP's modern fleet as additional capacity to train the next generation of airline pilots.

The need for highly qualified pilots continues to grow, with mandatory airline pilot retirements peaking in the coming years. To meet this demand, ATP is expanding training resources, including the opening of new training centers in Ann Arbor and Pontiac, Michigan; and a fifth location in the metro Atlanta area.

At scale, ATP operates one of the youngest, most modern training fleets, totaling 614 aircraft, with 133 new deliveries in the past two years alone. ATP will continue to expand its fleet with at least 40 new aircraft each year through 2027, further solidifying its position as the nation's leader in airline pilot training.

ATP conducts over 850 daily flights, logging more than 581,000 flight hours annually. This scale of operations is supported by an extensive safety and maintenance network. Nearly 30 dedicated Tech Ops maintenance bases ensure a well-maintained and dependable fleet, while ATP's airline-style operations center at its Jacksonville Beach headquarters contributes to an efficient and structured training environment.

"The safety and reliability of ATP's operations exceed the national average for general aviation flight instruction by a factor of ten," said Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing, ATP Flight School. "This commitment to our students and instructors is only made possible through an unmatched investment in aircraft and safety, allowing aspiring pilots to train with confidence on the most efficient path to a successful airline pilot career."

Deliveries of the new Cessna Skyhawks began in February and will continue throughout the year. Aspiring airline pilots are invited to experience ATP's industry-leading training and aircraft firsthand by scheduling an Admissions Flight at https://atpflightschool.com/take-flight.
