Intercontinental Aviation Academy (FlyIAA) is pleased to officially announce the commencement of its operations in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
This strategic step marks the launch of FlyIAA’s operations at a fully private airport, including the exclusive operation of a private runway, which will be managed and utilised as FlyIAA’s dedicated operational runway.
Operating from a private airport environment provides FlyIAA with a unique and highly strategic advantage:
an unrestricted, low-density airspace, minimal external traffic, and full operational control over training movements. This allows our students to benefit from continuous, interruption-free training, improved operational efficiency, and a significantly enhanced learning experience—conditions that are rarely available within conventional controlled airports.
By operating the runway as its own, FlyIAA effectively delivers the experience of training at a private airport, enabling:
• Highly stable training schedules
• Optimised sortie turnaround times
• Consistent student progression
• Enhanced safety and operational discipline
This environment aligns fully 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.
In parallel, rebranding and facility enhancement works will commence shortly, with the hangar and operational areas being upgraded to fully align with Intercontinental Aviation Academy (IAA) global standards, ensuring consistency across all FlyIAA bases worldwide.
This development represents another strategic milestone in FlyIAA’s UAE expansion, reinforcing the academy’s long-term commitment to building a premium, scalable, and globally integrated aviation training platform.
Further announcements will follow in the coming weeks, including the arrival of FlyIAA’s first Diamond aircraft in the UAE, as part of the academy’s structured fleet acquisition and growth plan.
This launch reflects more than expansion—it reflects execution.
FlyIAA continues to deliver on its promise:
setting new benchmarks in quality, structure, and training excellence for the aviation market.

Built on standards. Driven by vision.
