Flight School Opens New Colorado Location

ATP Flight School is expanding its Colorado footprint with the opening of a new training center at Northern Colorado Regional Airport (FNL) in Fort Collins. The new location joins ATP's existing Colorado centers at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC), Centennial Airport (APA), and Colorado Springs Airport (COS), expanding access to airline-focused flight training.

Both the full-time Airline Career Pilot Program and part-time Flex Commercial Pilot Program are available at the Fort Collins location. Students can begin with zero experience and work toward an airline career, supported by ATP's 38 airline-backed Career Tracks, access to regional airline cadet programs, and structured career progression to major airlines including American, Delta, and United.

"Airline pilots are in demand and it's anticipated that all three majors will increase hiring to the maximum capacity extent possible in the second half of 2026. This presents a tremendous career opportunity for students in the Fort Collins area," said Michael Arnold, Vice President of Marketing, ATP Flight School. "The pilot shortage has driven first-year pay at many airlines into the six figures, with no college degree required, meaning graduates can get an immediate return on their investment after just one year and be on the path to a $10 million career. Unlike recreational flight schools, ATP provides students with a complete, no-compromise, airline career solution, so they can quickly establish their career and start flying as a professional pilot."

The Fort Collins location joins ATP's network of 89 training centers across the country. Students benefit from an airline-oriented curriculum, checkride and examiner coordination, a fleet backed by predictive maintenance and 24/7 safety monitoring, and career support through ATP career services.

ATP is now enrolling at Northern Colorado Regional Airport, with classes starting every Monday.
