Our Riyadh office provides prospective students with professional consultation, guidance, and support throughout the process of joining Intercontinental Aviation Academy’s global pilot training pathway.

While flight training operations are conducted at FlyIAA’s international training bases, the Riyadh office acts as a strategic regional hub dedicated to student recruitment, aviation career consultation, and enrollment support for candidates from Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region.
