Delta Air Lines plans to open a flight training academy in June, the U.S. carrier said Tuesday. Called the Delta Propel Flight Academy, the school will operate in partnership with Vero Beach, Florida-based Skyborne Airline Academy. Delta said it will offer $20,000 in training support to eligible students and cover the cost of interest on student loans from certain lenders.

Delta will locate the training center in a refurbished 12,000-sq-ft facility at Skyborne’s Vero Beach campus. The airline calls the academy one of four pathways created for aspiring pilots through the Propel Pilot Career Path Program. Since the program's inception in 2018, almost 100 pilots have completed Propel’s existing company, college, and community pathways and now fly for Delta. Another 700 participants have enrolled in the program.
