US Flight Training Group ATP Flight School Begins Training First Class of American Airlines Cadet Academy Students

North Carolina, USA – ATP Flight School began training its inaugural class of four American Airlines cadets at its Charlotte-Concord training center. This milestone marks the first group of cadets to enroll in the American Airlines Cadet Academy pathway through ATP, following ATP’s selection as an official partner school earlier this year.

“There’s a real sense of momentum as we welcome our first cadets to ATP’s Charlotte training center. This moment reflects both their ambition and our commitment to investing in future aviators,” said George Stahle, Managing Director of Regional Planning at American. “Launching this partnership in Charlotte is especially meaningful, and we’re excited to see how it opens doors for aspiring pilots in a region that’s so important to our company.”

The cadets join 30 fellow students training in ATP’s industry-leading Airline Career Pilot Program in Charlotte, alongside more than 2,700 ATP pilots nationwide, to train in pursuit of their commercial pilot and flight instructor certificates. Through the Cadet Academy, cadets benefit from a clear and streamlined pathway to a career as an American pilot, while gaining the ATP advantage with a proven airline-oriented curriculum, a state-of-the-art fleet and a nationwide network of training resources.

After graduating, the cadets will gain additional experience flying as flight instructors, then advance to one of American’s wholly owned regional carriers before transitioning to its mainline operations. Along the way, they receive support from ATP’s training and career services teams, as well as mentorship and professional development from American.

“ATP’s official launch as an American Airlines Cadet Academy partner school is the next evolution of ATP’s proven track record of placing more than 1,500 graduates with American’s regional carriers,” said Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing, ATP Flight School. “We are proud to work with American Airlines to develop and foster their next generation of professional pilots, while continuing to provide our students with pathways and partnerships that lead to successful and rewarding airline pilot careers.”

ATP’s collaboration with the Cadet Academy offers aspiring pilots in the Charlotte metro area a direct, accessible path to the flight deck and a career at American—the state’s largest carrier.

To celebrate the launch of the partnership, ATP and American are hosting an open house and information session at ATP’s Charlotte training center Sept. 24, at Concord Regional Airport (JQF). Starting at 10 a.m., aspiring airline pilots in the area are invited to join, learn more about the Cadet Academy pathway at ATP and speak with pilot recruiters from American and its wholly owned regional carriers: Envoy Air, Piedmont Airlines and PSA Airlines.

Austria – Global aviation training leader CAE officially inaugurated its first business aviation training centre in Central Europe, CAE Vienna. The new centre has been in operation since April and is now offering customers pilot training on four aircraft types: Gulfstream G550, Bombardier Global 7500 and Bombardier Global 6000. An Embraer Phenom 100/300 full-flight simulator (FFS), part of the Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) joint venture is also in operation. A fifth simulator, a Bombardier Challenger 3500 FFS, will be ready for training in October and the sixth, a Pilatus PC-24 FFS, will be deployed in the second half of 2026.

“The inauguration of CAE Vienna ushers in a new era for business aviation in Europe, adding critical training capacity in the region and making a broad portfolio of training programs more accessible than ever for our customers,” said Alexandre Prévost, CAE’s Division President, Business Aviation. “According to CAE’s Aviation Talent Forecast, the business aviation industry in Europe will need 7,000 new pilots and 9,000 new maintenance technicians over the next 10 years. With the ability to train thousands of aviation professionals annually, CAE Vienna is ideally equipped and perfectly located to help meet that demand.”

Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer, Federal Minister for Economy, Energy and Tourism: “With the location of CAE Vienna, we are sending a strong signal for Austria as a strategic hub for aviation, business, and innovation. This training center not only brings highly qualified jobs and local investment, but also clearly strengthens our competitiveness. We want Austria to be a player where the future and value creation are shaped – and aviation is a key sector in that.” 

The 86,000 square foot centre reflects a customer-first transformation, designed to make training more personalized, seamless, and efficient. Smart technologies simplify booking, check-in, and access to training records, reducing friction and saving time. State-of-the-art amenities include self-serve kiosks, a barista café, and a pilot lounge that enhance pilots’ comfort and convenience.

“This new centre represents our dedication to ensuring that every pilot and maintenance technician who trains with us receives the experience they deserve – one that equips them with the knowledge, skill and confidence to be at their best and always ready for the moments that matter,” added Prévost.

Like all CAE training centres worldwide, including CAE Burgess Hill in the U.K. and CAE Dubai, CAE Vienna offers all phases of classroom and simulator training for established pilots to earn their type-rating and complete recurrent training for differing authorities.
