FlyBy Aviation Academy has increased its student cohort, taking in cadets who had been dropped mid-way through their course by another flight school. So far, 30 students have now resumed studies with the Spanish operator, with another 30 expected to follow soon.
It comes after an unnamed company reportedly terminated the studies of 120 cadets due to financial constraints brought on by the COVID-19 crisis.
FlyBy stepped in to provide an alternative training option at its facilities and has opened a second pilot training base in the northern Spanish city of Soria to cater for the increased demand. The new location enjoys year-round sunshine and has a pair of runways, providing unrestricted airspace for flying. Bosses at FlyBy plan to add new ground school and simulator capabilities over the coming months. The academy recently bought six aircraft – four PS28 Cruisers, a P2006T and a Super Decathlon – plus an Entrol Airbus A320 simulator.
