L3Harris Airline Academy
L3Harris Airline Academy is a flight school for prospective pilots wishing to enter a career as a commercial airline pilot. It is owned by L3Harris. It is headquartered in Sanford, Florida at the Orlando Sanford International Airport.[1] The school has other campuses around the United States.[2]
History[edit]
The flight school began in 1987 as Air Line Aviation Academy, founded by a retired Delta captain.[3] In 1989 it was acquired and expanded by Comair Holdings.[4] The school was renamed Comair Aviation Academy, and remained affiliated with its parent airline, Comair, until Delta Air Lines purchased Comair and all of its subsidiaries in January 2000. It was then renamed to match the company's regional airline branding. Pilots who graduate are not limited to Delta Connection airlines, in fact, graduates of the programs have been hired by over 60 different airlines worldwide.[2]
In September 2016, Aerosim Flight Academy was purchased by L-3 Communications and renamed to L3 Airline Academy.[5]
In July 2019, L3 Technologies and Harris Corporation merged to form L3Harris. L3 Airline Academy was once again re-named to its current name: L3Harris Flight Academy.[6]
Campuses[edit]
L3Harris Flight Academy is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The flight school is located in Sanford, Florida.
