Bridge the Gap from Military to Airlines
A Program Built for Veterans, By People Who Understand
At Nationwide Aviation, we recognize the value of your military training and the unique challenges of transitioning to civilian aviation. Our Military to ATP program is designed specifically for veterans and transitioning service members who are ready to leverage their flight experience into an airline career.
We don't just acknowledge your background. We build on it. With VA-approved pathways, veteran-focused advisors, and direct connections to airline partners, we make the transition as seamless as possible.
What's Included in Your Program

Multi-Engine Add-On (if needed)
Already have single-engine time? We'll get you qualified on multi-engine aircraft, expanding your capabilities and making you more competitive in the airline hiring market.
