Global – Airways Aviation Group, the largest owner-operator of Diamond Aircraft in Europe and the second highest Diamond Aircraft flight-hour operator globally throughout 2024, has announced the signing of a new Service Partner Agreement with Diamond Aircraft.

The agreement, finalized during the Pilot Expo 2025, appoints both Airways Aviation Italy (Professione Volare) and Airways Aviation Australia as Diamond Aircraft and Austro Engine Gold Service Centres.

By strengthening our maintenance and engineering capabilities in Europe and Australia, we can continue to deliver the highest standards of service to our global customer base, whether that is training the next generation of pilots or supporting third-party aircraft owners.”
