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.
Ponte de Sor, Portugal, will soon host a new aviation academy with an investment of up to €4M. Located within the Aeronautical Cluster, the project spans 4,000 sqm and aims to become Europe’s most sustainable flight training center. Backed by FlyIAA’s international standards, the academy will combine advanced technology, eco‑friendly practices, and high‑quality instruction to train the next generation of aviation professionals.
