The Hellenic Air Training Command (HATC) was set up on July 30 1955, under the name of "31st Hellenic Air Training HQ" initially established at a building on 6 Marni Street, its mission being to plan and improve the training provided to the HAF personnel.

One year later it was reestablished at the old State Aircraft Factory (SAF) facilities, at Paleo Phalero, where it remained until 1959. From there it was moved to the Hellenic Air Force war college building at the Dekelia Air Base where it remained until 1987.

In 1968 its name changes from "31st Hellenic Air training HQ" to "31st Hellenic Air Training Command".

In 1979 the numerical prefix "31st" was removed and the remaining name has been maintained since then.

In 1987 and within the context of organizational changes in the Hellenic Air Force, HATC and HASC (Hellenic Air Support Command) are unified, HATC is abolished and HASC and HAFGS (Hellenic Air Force General Staff) assume its activities.

In 1993 after a Supreme Air Council decision, HATC is re-established on a trial basis for six months and in accordance with a later decision of the same Council, it was decided that the Command will continue to operate.

Today, the Hellenic Air Training Command is based at the Dekelia Air Base, at the SW section of the camp, 20 Km N-NW of the city of Athens.
