FlyIAA UAE and SolitAir have joined forces to launch the SolitAir Mentor Programme, unveiled at Dubai Airshow 2025. This industry‑aligned initiative is designed to shape the next generation of pilots through structured mentorship, airline‑centric development, and specialised workshops. Cadets enrolled in the EASA & GCAA ICAO ATPL integrated programme will benefit from close engagement with SolitAir, performance progress reports, and potential pathways to advanced airline training and employment. The partnership sets a new benchmark for aviation talent development in the UAE.
Intercontinental Aviation Academy UAE announced a major expansion at Dubai Airshow 2025, signing an MoU to open a new base in Al Ain. Starting February 2026, the base will operate alongside RAK, supported by a new Diamond Aircraft fleet. The expansion increases flying hours, enhances fleet utilization, and strengthens operational flexibility, aligning with FlyIAA’s Vision 2030 strategy to deliver world‑class pilot training across the UAE.
Intercontinental Aviation Academy UAE has announced a strategic collaboration with Flyou to integrate student wellness and performance monitoring into its training programs. Using AI‑driven analytics, the system will track cadet wellbeing, cognitive performance, and readiness, aiming to enhance training quality and safety culture. The pilot program begins in Q2 2026, reinforcing IAA’s commitment to science‑based, student‑centric aviation training.
IAE announced a major fleet expansion with the acquisition of 10 Diamond training aircraft—eight DA40 NG and two DA42‑VI—supporting both A6 (UAE) and EASA registrations. Deliveries begin in 2026, reinforcing IAE’s commitment to modern, fuel‑efficient, and standardized pilot training across its multi‑country bases. The partnership includes maintenance training, instructor familiarisation, and spare parts provisioning, ensuring readiness for FlyIAA’s growing international cadet demand.
