FlyIAA has officially launched operations at its private airport in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. By operating the runway as its own, the academy delivers highly stable training schedules, optimised sortie turnaround times, consistent student progression, and enhanced safety discipline. This development aligns with FlyIAA’s philosophy of delivering the highest standards of aviation training, while positioning the academy among a select group of international flight training organisations operating from private airport infrastructure. Facility upgrades are underway to align with FlyIAA global standards, with the first Diamond aircraft arriving soon as part of the structured fleet acquisition plan.
