Tecnam declared that “FlyBy,” the top general aviation flight training organization in Spain, has ordered four more Tecnam P2008JCs. These will be added to their current 16-strong Tecnam fleet. FlyBy, situated in Burgos, Spain, is well-known for its comprehensive integrated flight training program that includes ground school, flight simulators, iPads, meals, and lodging.
In just 14 months, students can complete the following courses: ATPL Ground School, Instruments Flight Rating (IFR), Visual Flight Rating (VFR), and Multi-Engine and APS Multi Crew Cooperation. Over 350 students from 103 different countries attend the school; of these, 55% are from Europe, and the remaining 45% are from other continents.
Alex ALVAREZ, CEO, FlyBy said, “We have chosen Tecnam for our fleet for its modern design and low operational costs. This means we can offer the latest technology to our students at a very reasonable hourly rate.”
The ATO recorded 23,000 flight hours in 2023, and much more are anticipated in 2024. By 2024, FlyBy intends to open a new base in Spain and add six additional Tecnam. The senior management team of “FlyBy” has a wealth of expertise in leading ab initio flying schools, managing training programs, and managing airlines.
Walter DA COSTA, Chief Sales Officer, Tecnam said, “Tecnam confirms its worldwide leadership in general aviation training. Latest generation avionics allow student pilots to gain effective experience at a low cost, complete a full training and progress very quickly into flying commercial aircraft.”

Customs, creativity, and vision
These elements are pushing Tecnam towards new frontiers. The world’s greenest training fleet is provided by Tecnam, according to current data and industry standards. When flight schools use Tecnam’s single- and twin-engine fleet, they may reduce CO2 emissions by up to 10 tonnes for each student who receives a commercial pilot licence. This is a 60% decrease when compared to fleets that use 100LL fuel over 155 flying hours, with 30 hours spent on twin engines.
