Airways Aviation has completed the acquisition of ‘Patria Pilot Training Oy’, a Finish company dedicated to professional pilot training and until now part of state-owned Patria Group, marking an exciting new chapter for both organizations.
The Sale Purchase Agreement signed on December 30th, 2024 provisions for the transfer of full ownership of Patria Pilot Training Oy from 1 February 2025.

With a large, dedicated team of staff and contractors, a fully owned fleet of 12 Diamond Aircraft, 3 Simulators (including an Airbus A320 Level 1 FTD) positioned across Finland and Spain, Patria Pilot Training is bringing its expertise, operations and ongoing training programs in under the wing of Airways Aviation.
Headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Airways Aviation operates in over 10 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Australasia and brings exceptional training infrastructure including one of the world’s largest fleets of Diamond training aircraft and featuring Europe’s most extensive collection of Diamond DA40 and DA42 models.
This acquisition represents a strategic step forward for Airways Aviation as it integrates Patria Pilot Training into its global network and rebrands it as Airways Aviation Nordic.
The integration of Patria Pilot Training will enable Airways Aviation to offer an even broader range of pathways for existing and aspiring airline pilots, military aviators, cabin crew, ground handlers, maintenance technicians and aviation administrators.
