ATP Jets
ATP Jets is a DFW-based simulator training center offering the Airline Transport Pilot Certification Training Program (ATP CTP) and initial type rating and recurrent training to airline, corporate, military and government for the Boeing B-737 and Airbus A320. Additional training programs will include Aircraft Dispatcher Courses. ATP Flight School, parent company of ATP Jets, has been the largest provider of ATP certification for over 30 years and is the largest flight training company in the United States. ATP’s initial focus was providing flight training to U.S. military pilots who were seeking their Airline Transport Pilot Certificates to transition over to commercial air carrier operations. Maintaining a focus on professional flight training, ATP later expanded its course offerings to include ab-initio training programs for domestic students, seeking a career in commercial aviation. Today, ATP is the leading supplier of professionally trained pilots to the nation's regional airlines.
