Alhama de Murcia, Spain – United Kingdom headquartered pilot training organisation Leading Edge Aviation has announced the arrival of its second Elixir training aircraft at its Alhama campus in Southern Spain, continuing its planned expansion to a fleet of 15 next-generation aircraft as part of its pilot training programme.

• The latest Elixir arrival follows the first delivery in March 2025, as the academy builds a fleet of cutting-edge, fourth-generation light training aircraft.
• Designed with a “OneShot” manufacturing process, the Elixir features a simplified structure with fewer parts, resulting in increased safety and a lighter, yet stronger airframe.
• The two-seater aircraft is equipped with a fuel-efficient Rotax engine, consuming only 10–15 litres per hour, aligning with eco-friendly training operations.

The aircraft is being added in collaboration with manufacturer Elixir Aircraft and leasing partner Green Aerolease.

Green Aerolease will deploy 5 aircraft and previously stated – “These aircraft join the Leading Edge Aviation fleet, marking the launch of our “turnkey” rental offer, with insurance, maintenance and carbon compensation via Aero4Good,” said Green Aerolease. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to sustainable aviation and innovation at the service of flight schools. A big thank you to our partners for their trust.”
