United Arab Emirates – Intercontinental Aviation Academy UAE (IAA UAE), the global headquarters of the FlyIAA network, has announced an expansion of its upcoming national training infrastructure with the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with Emirates Falcon Air Strip during the Dubai Airshow 2025.
