About ITTC North Bay

At the International Tactical Training Centre (ITTC), the tactical flight training division of International Test Pilots School (ITPS), we operate at the forefront of tactical aviation training.

Our dedicated ITTC facility in North Bay, Ontario is the hub of our expanding operations, delivering advanced tactical flight training to NATO and allied air forces. At the core of this operation is our fleet of Aero L-39 Albatros jet trainers, paired with modern simulation and integrated training environments.

Everything we do is grounded in a clear objective: delivering operational excellence in aerospace training, today and into the future.
