FlyBy, Spain leading General Aviation Flight Training Organisation placed an order for an additional 4 Tecnam P2008JC. These will supplement their existing all Tecnam fleet of 16. FlyBy is renowned for its all-inclusive integrated flight training program which include accommodation, meals, iPad, ground school and flight simulators. Course duration is just 14 months, with students starting with ATPL Ground School, then go onto Visual Flight Rating, Instruments Flight Rating, and then completing a Multi-Engine and APS Multi Crew Cooperation module. 

Students are more than 350 from 103 different countries, 55% of the students from Europe while the rest 45%, from the rest of the world. In 2023 the ATO logged 23.000 flight hours, and the forecast for 2024 is even more. FlyBy is planning to open a new base in Spain and add 6 more Tecnam within 2024. FlyBy senior management team has extensive experience in airline management, training management and ab initio flight school leadership.

Current FlyBy’s fleet includes:

  • 2 P mentors

  • 8 P2008JC

  • 3 P2006T

  • 3 P2002JF

Alex ALVAREZ, FlyBy CEO, commented: “We have chosen Tecnam for our fleet for its modern design and low operational costs. This means we can offer the latest technology to our students at a very reasonable hourly rate.”

Walter DA COSTA, TECNAM Chief Sales Officer, said: “Tecnam confirms its worldwide leadership in General Aviation Training. Latest generation avionics allow student pilots to gain effective experience at low cost to complete a full training and progress very quickly into flying commercial aircraft.”
