Pilot Flight Academy and Professional Aviation Academy Partner for VFR Flight Training in Italy

11 September 2024 – Pilot Flight Academy and Professional Aviation Academy are thrilled to announce a new partnership starting in October 2024. Through this collaboration, Pilot Flight Academy students will have the opportunity to conduct their Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight training at Professional Aviation Academy’s state-of-the-art facilities in Italy.

This partnership offers students a unique opportunity to fly in diverse airspace and weather conditions, enhancing their training and better preparing them for international aviation careers. The Italian landscape, combined with Professional Aviation’s comprehensive training programs, provides the perfect environment for VFR training, adding significant value to the existing curriculum.

“We are excited to partner with Professional Aviation Academy and offer our students access to an excellent training facility in Bologna,” said Mikael Eriksson, CEO of Pilot Flight Academy. “Italy’s varied flight conditions will provide an invaluable training experience, helping our students develop the skills needed to navigate the complexities of flying in different regions across the globe.”

“We are proud to add this international partnership to our portfolio, further strengthening Professional Aviation’s global reach,” said Vito Preti, CEO of Professional Aviation Academy. “Our training offering includes both integrated and modular programs for fixed and rotary wings. We aim to be an international reference for training quality and timely delivery of pilots. This collaboration will also allow us to expand our fleet by adding 5 new aircraft, bringing our total to 26.”

The program is set to launch in October 2024, giving Pilot Flight Academy students the chance to complete a key part of their flight training in Italy while continuing to benefit from Pilot Flight Academy’s high-quality instruction and curriculum.

Alongside this new venture, Pilot Flight Academy will maintain its longstanding partnership with US Aviation Academy in Denton, Texas, which continues to play a crucial role in giving students a global aviation perspective. This global approach remains a key part of Pilot Flight Academy’s strategy to prepare students for the international job market.

At the same time, both Professional Aviation Academy and Pilot Flight Academy are actively expanding into new international markets, seeking strategic partnerships that will reinforce their positions as global leaders in pilot training. This partnership represents a shared commitment to delivering world-class pilot training, underscoring both academies’ dedication to preparing future pilots for success in the global aviation industry.
