In 1930, Embry–Riddle was incorporated into what is now American Airlines, and the flight school was closed. In 1939, the partners opened a new flight school – "Embry–Riddle School of Aviation" – in Miami, Florida, which provided training in what turned out to be the lead up to World War II.

In 1970, the Institute was renamed Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University.
