Despite the setback from COVID-19, the airline industry\nanticipates a recovery and strong long-term demand for airline pilots. Over\n80,000 U.S. airline pilots will be forced to retire at age 65 over the next 20\nyears, in addition to those taking early retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Anticipated airline pilot demand exceeds the current\ncapabilities of the flight training industry,” said Michael Arnold,\nDirector of Marketing, ATP Flight School. “ATP continues to invest in our\ngraduates’ careers with the best flight training fleet in the industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ATP has opened six locations in 2020, and plans to add five\nmore before the end of the year. The new Piper aircraft provide ATP students\naccess to a reliable, technologically-advanced training platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“ATP continues to expand as one of the largest private\ntraining organizations in the United States. Piper Aircraft is delighted to be\na part of their continued growth. The Archer and Seminole are durable training\nproducts that feature advanced avionics technology which make them ideally suited\nto the demands of ATP’s rigorous training programs,” said Piper President\nand CEO Simon Caldecott. “We look forward to continuing to work with ATP\nas they continue their commitment of providing well trained pilots for the\ncommercial aviation industry.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
