Cascais, Portugal – OMNI Aviation Training Center has received its first new Diamond DA42 aircraft following the announcement of its strategic partnership with Airways Aviation in January 2025. The partnership combines OMNI’s expertise in aviation training with Airways Aviation’s global resources.

“This marks the beginning of a new era for OMNI. After enhancing the tools in the theory department, this year will be dedicated to modernizing our fleet through a strategic partnership with Airways Aviation, taking a significant step forward in improving our training capabilities.” – Captain Dylan van Haasen, OATC Chief Flight Instructor.

The landmark agreement with Airways Aviation will usher in a Portuguese based alliance designed to enhance the already impressive pilot training capacity and facilities for EASA ATPL and Cabin Crew Training (CCT) along with various Airline Cadet, MPL and Military Flight Training Programs already being delivered by Airways Aviation across Europe.

The new alliance will be known as Airways Aviation OMNI and operate from both Ponte de Sor and Cascais airports. Staged enhancements to both locations will commence in January with the delivery of new Diamond DA40 and DA42 aircraft in quick succession with a total fleet of 10 units expected to be positioned between Cascais and Ponte de Sor over coming four months.
