Diamond Aircraft announced that its Diamond Authorized Training Center program, introduced last year, is now officially live. Following the signing of agreements with six leading flight training organizations, the DATC network is ready to welcome aspiring pilots to a new standard of excellence in flight training. DATC program recognizes flight schools operating Diamond aircraft that meet rigorous standards for facilities, operations, and training methodology. These schools are now entitled to carry Diamond Aircraft branding and benefit from enhanced OEM support, ensuring students receive world-class training in state-of-the-art aircraft.

Jane Wang, Director of Sales, Marketing, and Flight Operations at Diamond Aircraft Austria commented: “With the official launch of the Diamond Authorized Training Center program, we are setting a new benchmark for flight training worldwide. This network ensures that students not only train on the most advanced aircraft in General Aviation but also receive instruction from schools that meet Diamond’s highest standards of quality and safety.”

The first six FTOs to join the DATC network are:

  • Air Baltic Training, SIA
  • Austria Aviation Academy
  • Air Colleg Consulting GmbH
  • Egmont Aviation
  • Fliegerschule St. Gallen-Altenrhein AG
  • Wings Over Holland BV.

To make it easier for students and professionals to find the right training partner, Diamond Aircraft has launched an interactive map on its website. Visitors can explore each DATC location, learn more about their programs, and apply for flight training directly.

The DATC program reflects Diamond Aircraft’s commitment to supporting the next generation of pilots and strengthening partnerships with leading flight schools globally.
