}} The Aerosim Flight Academy, formerly the Delta Connection Academy, a former subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, is a flight school for prospective pilots wishing to enter a career as a commercial airline pilot. As of August 2, 2010, Delta Connection Academy changed names to Aerosim Flight Academy. In 2017, L3 Technologies bought the flight academy under the L3 Commercial Training Solutions branch. It is now L3 CTS Airline Academy. It is headquartered in Sanford, Florida at the Orlando Sanford International Airport.[1] The school has other campuses around the United States.[2] HistoryThe 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. The academy currently maintains a fleet of just under 100 aircraft. Most flying is done in the Cirrus SR20 aircraft. 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] Sale/Merger{{Unreferenced section|date=December 2010}}On December 31, 2009, Delta Connection Academy, Inc., was partially sold to Flight Training Acquisition LLC (FTA) backed by Lincolnshire Management and GTI Group.
