Portugese Flight Training Organisation Welcomes First Cadets from Nordic Training Center in October 2025

Portugal – Sevenair Academy and Icelandic Aviation Training have welcomed the first two cadets in Portugal following their 2024 partnership announcement and the cadets theory training in Iceland.

Sevenair Academy had partnered with Icelandic Aviation Training (IAT), in a strategic move to provide flight training for northern Europe. This collaboration integrates the vast experience of Icelandic Aviation Training’s training and management team, led by seasoned Icelandair Captains, with the advanced flight training capabilities and infrastructure of Sevenair Academy. With the partnership, Sevenair Academy becomes IAT’s partner in its ab-initio ATPL program, bringing a unique backdrop for practical flight training, in the premier location of Ponte de Sor, through a bespoke program designed to meet the evolving needs of aspiring pilots from Iceland and the broader Nordic region. IAT counts on the experience of Icelandair airline captains, with more than 30 years of experience in the field, widely known for their APS MCC and Type Rating training. Now, together with Sevenair Academy, IAT’s cadets will begin their Ground School theoretical training in Iceland, joining then Ponte de Sor base for their flight training portion of the program, before finishing off with 40 hours APS MCC at the CAE Icelandair Full Flight Simulators in Iceland.
