Defence Conglomerate Patria Divest’s Pilot Training Unit in 2025 to Airways Aviation

Finland – Patria has signed an agreement with Airways Aviation Group (‘Airways Aviation’) on them acquiring the entire share capital of its subsidiary Patria Pilot Training Oy (‘Patria’s Pilot Training’). As of 1 February, 2025, all employees, operations and ongoing training courses of Patria’s Pilot Training will be transferred to Airways Aviation.

Patria’s military pilot training activities will not be impacted by these changes.

The function is mainly focused on arranging professional civilian pilot training in Pirkkala in Tampere and Vantaa, Finland and in Córdoba in Spain. These operations employ 30 people in Finland and 5 in Spain.

Airways Aviation Group with over 45 years of experience is a privately owned aviation education and training organization with its headquarters in the UAE (Dubai) and active operations in more than 10 countries in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific. It owns and operates one of the world’s largest fleets of training aircraft, including Europe’s largest fleet of Diamond DA40 and DA42 aircraft.

The group provides high-quality education and training pathways for Airline Pilots, Military Pilots, Cabin Crew, Ground Handlers, Aircraft Maintenance Technicians, and University-qualified Administrators and Managers, boasting a proven track record in aviation training, having successfully trained over 10,000 pilots, 14,000 cabin crew and 20,000 maintenance technicians and ground staff.

Patria’s Pilot Training operations will now be fully integrated into Airways Aviation’s global training network and will be rebranded as Airways Aviation Nordic, expanding the group’s footprint in the region.
