Diamond Aircraft expands Diamond Authorized Training Center program with two new European partners

Diamond Aircraft announced continued expansion of its Diamond Authorized Training Center program with the signing of two new agreements during Pilot Expo 2026, Europe’s largest pilot recruitment and training event. AELO Swiss Academy and Türkiye based Atlantic Flight Academy are the latest institutions to join the growing network, further strengthening Diamond’s commitment to elevating global pilot training standards.

Launched earlier this year, the DATC program recognizes flight schools operating Diamond aircraft that meet the company’s rigorous criteria for facilities, curriculum, safety, and operational excellence. Certified schools gain the right to use Diamond’s branding, and benefit from enhanced OEM support and international program visibility.

Jane Wang, Director of Sales, Marketing, and Flight Operations at Diamond Aircraft Austria commented: "We are thrilled to welcome AELO Swiss Academy and Atlantic Flight Academy into the Diamond Authorized Training Center program. Both organizations exemplify the professionalism, training quality, and operational excellence that the DATC network represents.Their addition not only strengthens our presence in Europe but also ensures that even more aspiring pilots will have access to the safest, most modern training fleet in General Aviation.”

With these latest additions, the DATC program continues its mission to provide students with access to standardized, high‑quality training on the industry’s most advanced piston aircraft. Diamond Aircraft’s interactive DATC map allows prospective students to explore each partner school and connect directly with training providers.
