History

PATTS College of Aeronautics was founded in 1969 as the Philippine Air Transport and Training Services. The unfavorable investment climate at the time constrained the founders to drop the first objective and only organize and operate an educational institution, intended to provide professional and technical training to its clients. The school started with two-year airframe mechanic and two-year power plant mechanic courses. In its second year of operation, the two-year communication technician course (avionics) and the four-year aeronautical engineering course were added. Under the stewardship of its board of directors, the school rose to higher levels of credit and educational standards. Its BS Aeronautical Engineering graduates regularly topped the PRC’s Licensure Board Examination for Aeronautical Engineers from its inception in 1983. In 1989, the school became an accredited college. PATS School of Aeronautics grew into a larger educational institution known as PATTS College of Aeronautics, adapting the slogan “Fly high, your future is in the skies”. In 2005, the school's greatest transformation coincided with PATTS' 36th anniversary. PATTS was relocated from its old site at Domestic Airport Road, Pasay to its new home at Lombos Avenue, San Isidro, Parañaque. Educational success encouraged the Board of Directors to be more forward-thinking in their management of the school. Following the 36th Anniversary, management announced a new diversification. PATTS would offer non-aviation related programs responsive to industry needs, starting with B.S. Hotel and Restaurant Management as of the 2005–2006 school year. Feasibility studies are being conducted to determine what other curricular offerings are viable. Graduate Studies is also a possibility, leading to university status.
