Portuguese Flight School Sevenair Academy Highlights Advantages of Ponte De Sor Base in 2024

“The shift in operational context and constraints are evident at Cascais and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to provide a strong solution at our base in Ponte de Sor,” said Sevenair Academy.

“While Lisbon airspace’s reorganization is necessary for the sustained growth of aviation in Portugal, flight training activity has already taken a hit with a -31% of flights last year. This year, Q1 data reveals that the trend will continue, as new restrictions and limitations will be set in place, and a further -29% of flights are expected.”

“We are comfortable providing an unrivalled solution that stands out in the current scenario,” said Sevenair citing data from Cascais Dinâmica – Relatório e Contas 2023 and Aeródromo Municipal de Ponte de Sor. “Ponte de Sor has truly become an oasis for flight training, and official data strongly supports this.”
