Italy is the newest addition to FlyIAA's European training network. Through acquisition, FlyIAA now operates Professione Volare (IT-ATO 020) in Forlì, one of Italy's oldest and most respected flight training organisations, with 31 continuous years of operating history.
Training operates from two locations: the Forlì flight training base, part of the Forlì Aerospace Technology Hub, and Milan Malpensa, home to FlyIAA's European headquarters. The acquisition brings FlyIAA a fully owned fleet, fully owned facilities, and a new European base of operations.
FlyIAA Italy offers a range of EASA-approved pilot training pathways, including:
These programs are designed to prepare students for careers with international airlines through structured academic and operational training.
Professione Volare operates from a fully owned hangar and ATO facility in Forlì, equipped with a full-motion Alsim ALX simulator for ATPL and MCC training.
Students train on a fully owned fleet aligned to FlyIAA's group-wide Diamond standard, complemented by a dedicated General Avia F22 for Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT).
Forlì is part of the Forlì Aerospace Technology Hub, alongside the University of Bologna's Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering programs and the Eurocontrol/ENAV air traffic control academy, making it one of Italy's most established aviation education environments.
FlyIAA's European headquarters is housed in Malpensa's historic Palazzina Comando, dating back to 1930 when the airport served as a military training airfield. Alongside its headquarters role, Malpensa also operates as a flight training base.
Milan is FlyIAA's European headquarters, overseeing operations in Cyprus, Italy and Portugal. Italy is also one of the two locations in Europe where students complete the EASA ab initio programme.
