FlyBy Aviation Academy, one of Europe's fastest-growing and an internationally diverse Approved Training Organization (ATO), headquartered in Spain, has taken delivery of a P2006T New Generation (NG) aircraft. FlyBy is the launch customer.
This milestone marks a new chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Tecnam and FlyBy, which now operates a fleet of 30 Tecnam aircraft. The addition of the P2006T NG, Tecnam's modern twin-engine trainer, reflects FlyBy's commitment to offering its cadets the latest in aviation training technology while ensuring ease of operation, high safety standards and operational efficiency.
FlyBy, which was recently acquired by Sherpa Capital, a leading private equity firm in Spain, is experiencing a new phase of growth. This growth is supported by an ambitious expansion plan that includes both internationalisation and inorganic growth, as well as the strengthening of its position as a leading training centre.
The P2006T NG is renowned for its modern design, fuel efficiency and ease of flying, making it an ideal platform for Multi-Engine Piston (MEP) training. This aircraft aligns perfectly with FlyBy's mission to deliver comprehensive, top-tier pilot instruction using state-of-the-art tools and techniques.
Pedro Carlos Pavesi, director of FlyBy Aviation Academy, states: “Our goal is to provide our cadets with the very best training environment, and that starts with the aircraft they fly. The Tecnam P2006T NG offers exactly what we need: modern systems, reliability and a platform that prepares students for the demands of airline operations. We are proud to continue expanding our Tecnam fleet as we grow our global training community.”
“The collaboration between Tecnam and FlyBy represents the perfect synergy between innovative aircraft manufacturing and excellence in pilot training,” adds Walter Da Costa, Tecnam chief sales officer. “Together, we are shaping the future of aviation by equipping the next generation of pilots with state-of-the-art technology and world-class instruction.”
FlyBy Aviation Academy trains over 350 students from more than 117 countries each year, offering a truly global training environment. With the introduction of the P2006T NG, the academy continues to strengthen its position as a leader in European pilot training, combining exceptional instruction with industry-leading aircraft.
