Spanish Flight School Completes Fleet Modernization Following Intake of 4 Brand New Tecnam Aircraft in 2024

Capua, Italy – Training aircraft manufacturer Tecnam announced that ‘Quality Fly’, Spain’s leading general aviation flight training organisation, has added four (4) brand new Tecnam P2008JC MKII aircraft to its training fleet this year.

The addition of the new Tecnam P2008 aircraft will standardize and modernize the fleet and increase operational efficiency, providing significant benefits to ATP Integrated students, including:

Fleet Standardization: By transitioning to a unified fleet of Tecnam P2008 single engine piston (SEP) aircraft with glass cockpits, training times are reduced and the student learning curve is improved by over 30%. This standardisation simplifies training procedures and improves the overall flight training outcomes of Quality Fly’s ATP Integrated Program. It also makes the transition to MEP & IFR training on their Tecnam P2006 aircraft smoother.

Alignment with the new ATP Integrated Program: The streamlined fleet facilitates the implementation of Quality Fly’s new innovative ATP Integrated program, which features a clear separation between theory and flight training.

Increased Efficiency and Safety: A unified fleet means greater efficiency in flight operations, increasing flight safety, greater operational stability and a better training experience for Quality Fly students. All of the new Tecnam P2008 aircraft are equipped with FLARM technology, which provides real-time collision avoidance, contributing to a safer flight environment for students and instructors.

These additions to the fleet mark an important milestone in Quality Fly’s mission to provide state-of-the-art ATP Integrated training for future commercial airline pilots, while enhancing the quality, efficiency and safety of the training experience.

“The addition of these 4 brand-new Tecnam P2008 demonstrates our mission to provide the highest standards of training for our ATP Integrated students. By modernising and standardising our fleet, we are streamlining our operations and delivering an even more efficient, safe, and modern training experience for the commercial pilots of the future. Looking ahead, Quality Fly is on an exciting trajectory of growth – we plan to double our student intake within the next two years and triple it in four years, all while maintaining the same high-quality, establishing ourselves as a leader in commercial pilot training across Europe,” said Rubén Matesanz, Quality Fly CEO.

“We are thrilled to witness the expansion of a modern flight school such as Quality Fly. This investment not only enhances the quality of education, but also prepares students for a dynamic global aviation landscape. Together, we are shaping the future of flight,” said Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer.
