OMNI Aviation Training Center, known as OATC, is a flight and cabin crew training school at Cascais Airport in Portugal. It was founded in 1998 as a department of OMNI Aviação e Tecnologia. In September 2007 it became an independent company. It offers courses for airline pilots, cabin crew, flight instructors and flight operations officers.

The school's main pilot course is the integrated Airline Transport Pilot course for aeroplanes. It aims to give students all the technical skills they need to start a career as a professional pilot. For pilots who already hold a licence, OATC runs a modular course from PPL to CPL, an instrument rating route and a flight instructor course for aeroplanes.

OATC also trains pilots on specific aircraft. It offers A320 type rating and base flight training. It offers type rating courses for the ATR72, the B737 and the B777. Other short courses include Multi Crew Cooperation, Performance Based Navigation and an advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training course. Pilots can also renew and revalidate their ratings, and they can transfer from another approved training organisation.

Cabin crew training is a second main area. OATC runs a Cabin Crew course and a Flight Operations Officer course. The school also has an English centre that prepares pilots for the ICAO and EASA English proficiency test. It lists financing options for pilot courses and holds open days for people who want to find out how to become an airline pilot.

In 2003, when JAR-FCL standards arrived, OMNI gained JAR-FCL approval as a Flight Training Organisation. It became a Type Rating Training Organisation in September 2004. Over the years OATC has trained more than 1,000 airline pilots and 3,900 cabin crew members.

OATC belongs to the OMNI Aviation Group. The group offers a wide range of aviation services, from aircraft maintenance to crew training, through a network of companies. In 2026 OATC announced a partnership with Bristol Groundschool to widen pilot training options. The school lists safety, quality, demanding teaching and technology innovation as its main values.
