Cessna Skyhawks for ATP Flight School

Textron Aviation has announced an agreement with ATP Flight School for the purchase of 40 Cessna Skyhawk aircraft. The piston aircraft will add to ATP's existing fleet of nearly 200 Skyhawks, positioned across 82 training centers nationwide.

This is the second fleet purchase of Cessna Skyhawks for ATP's Airline Career Pilot Program in less than a year, as the flight school scales to train 20,000 airline pilots by 2030. In October 2022, ATP and Textron Aviation agreed to the purchase of 55 Cessna Skyhawks, with deliveries starting in the third quarter of 2023.

"The Cessna Skyhawk has been the standard in aircraft training for over six decades," said Chris Crow, vice president, Textron Aviation Piston Sales. "We are thrilled to see these aircraft continue to inspire the next generation of professional pilots through this agreement with ATP Flight School."
