Nimes, France based aviation and pilot training organisation Mermoz Academy has announced its collaboration with Luxair, flag carrier of Luxembourg and operator of 21 commercial aircraft. Through this program, Luxair pre-finances the entire training of student pilots selected at Mermoz Academy, offering job security from the beginning of their career. Future pilots will reimburse part of their training through a deduction from their salary, thus making the profession of pilot accessible to a greater number.

Back in April 2024 Mermoz Academy completed the acquisition of 10 Tecnam P-Mentors for its fleet expansion programme. The aircraft will be used for both PPL (Private Pilot Licence) and MPL (Multi Pilot Licence) courses. The flight training academy, which has been operating in France since 2018, currently has 220 students and a fleet of ten (10) P-Mentor, five (5) P2006T twin-engine and four (4) P2010 single-engine four-seaters.
