With the opening of its new northern Virginia regional airline training center last fall, Pan Am International Flight Academy served notice of its commitment as “a dependable, credible and trustworthy training partner,” said Ralph Leach, director of regional aircraft training.

Pan Am International Flight Academy, with some 500 employees at 11 locations, was originally established in 1980 by the now defunct Pan American World Airways in Miami. The home offices remain in Miami and the company is now owned by J.W. Childs Associates, a Boston-based investment firm.
