FlyBy Aviation Academy opens new pilot course (batch 26500) with 44 cadets from 14 nationalities

FlyBy Aviation Academy, one of the largest and most international EASA-approved pilot training organisations in Europe, is pleased to announce the start of a new pilot training course — internally designated Batch 26500 — welcoming 44 new cadets from 14 different nationalities. To accommodate this scale of intake, the new course has been split into two parallel classes, one based at FlyBy's campus in Burgos and the other at its campus in Logroño, allowing the Academy to run simultaneous training streams while maintaining the same rigorous standards across both locations.

This new intake comes just weeks after FlyBy held a graduation ceremony awarding wings and diplomas to 15 new pilots from 13 nationalities, who have now completed their training and are ready to begin their careers with airline partners around the world.

Together, these milestones reflect FlyBy's continued position as one of Europe's leading pilot training organisations, underpinned by a genuinely high training capacity: a fleet of 46 aircraft and 4 simulators generating more than 40,000 flight hours per year, and the operational flexibility to run parallel courses across multiple campuses. This capacity allows FlyBy to sustain a constant flow of new cadets entering training and newly qualified pilots graduating into airline cockpits, without compromising on the quality or consistency of instruction.

This continued momentum reinforces FlyBy's positioning as a benchmark in aeronautical training, both at European and international level, consolidating its commitment to shaping the next generation of airline pilots.

Jesus Piñate, Chief Theoretical Knowledge Instructor  commented: “It's been a great few weeks for FlyBy: we said goodbye to 15 pilots who had just earned their wings, and now we're welcoming 44 new cadets at our training bases. And we're not slowing down, we still have more courses opening later this year, keeping up the same growth trajectory in both new intakes and graduations. None of that growth means much without strong foundations, and that's where theoretical knowledge training comes in: its quality is what prepares our cadets for the challenges they'll face later in the practical phase, and it gives them knowledge that stays with them for their entire professional life as pilots. I'm happy I can be a part of such an important phase in their future pilot life.”
