FlyBy Aviation Academy has recorded 17,000 hours of practical flight training during the first six months of 2026. The total reflects simultaneous instruction across the initial, instrument and multi-engine stages of the Academy's programmes, with sustained operational activity through the first half of the year contributing to the figure. FlyBy said the total puts it among the pilot training organisations with the highest flight-hour volumes in Europe.

Victor Baz, COO, says: “Surpassing 17,000 flight hours in just six months is a direct reflection of the operational capacity and commitment of the entire FlyBy team.”

A fleet increase planned for the second half of the year is expected to expand the Academy's operational capacity further, pushing the flight-hour total higher over the remainder of 2026. FlyBy expects 2026 to become the highest year for flight hours in its history.

The company now trains over 350 students annually from more than 117 countries.
