New Era for Italian Aviation Training

A new era in italian aviation training begins as the Dubai, UAE-headquartered Airways Aviation Group has acquired Professione Volare, one of Italy’s oldest commercial Flight Training Schools. This acquisition represents a major milestone in the history of Airways Aviation.

By acquiring Professione Volare, Airways Aviation not only extends its footprint in Europe but also enhances its ability to deliver aviation training through a combination of advanced technology, experienced faculty, and a tradition of instruction.

Airways Aviation's strategic enhancement of its European operations now includes Professione Volare’s Approved Training Organisation (IT ATO 020), fully certified for ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License) training, and its Maintenance Organisation (IT CAO 024 - formerly a Diamond Service Centre). This facility is fully approved and equipped for comprehensive maintenance on the Diamond fleet, further supporting the operational efficiency and safety of Airways Aviation’s training aircraft.

The Airways Aviation European fleet has now expanded by nine aircraft, including Diamond DA42, DA40, and DA20 models. Notably, Professione Volare was one of the first operators of Diamond training aircraft in Italy, and its expertise in this area will greatly benefit Airways Aviation’s training programs.

In addition to expanding its fleet, enhancing its capabilities, and ensuring that students have access to the best training equipment across multiple locations, Airways Aviation has acquired ownership of Professione Volare's hangars, classrooms, operations, and administrative buildings, as well as an additional ALSIM ALX simulator for its training resources in Italy. These additions complement the existing and expanding number of owned and operated facilities and equipment across Airways Aviation globally.

In further news, Airways Aviation Professione Volare is finalising the renovations and fit-out of its new Aviation Theory / Ground Training Centre located within Volandia (Italys largest Aeronautical Museum) adjacent to Milan Malpensa International Airport. Upon completion, this facility will deliver EASA-certified Theory Programs to complement the practical flying facilities in both Forli and a new fair-weather base in Southern Italy.
