In 1989 Comair acquired Comair Aviation Academy and invested millions of dollars so they could ensure to have the most qualified and well-trained pilots available. In 2003, Comair Aviation Academy became Delta Connection Academy. The new name reflects the Academy's expanding role in training flight crew candidates for consideration by the broad group of Delta Connection carriers. Delta Connection Academy has been recognized for its first class training facilities, incredible safety record, and commitment to education. After all, we train our students to the same standards of the airlines.

To support the Academy's broader mission, we recently expanded our learning center and added new Frasca 141 and 142 aircraft simulators and a Jet-Transition simulator to prepare students for regional jet operations. With more than 300 regional jets in its fleets Delta Connection has the world's leading regional jet network.

Delta Connection Academy has more than 1000 students. Our main campus is in Sanford Florida, near Orlando. A wholly owned subsidiary of Delta, Delta Connection Academy has produced more FAA certificated pilots in the past four years than any other flight school in the world. With a fleet of more than 110 aircraft, Delta Connection Academy has trained students from 89 different countries and has placed pilots with 30 airlines.
