Powering Aviation Progress at Lydia Aerodrome with Key B2B Partnerships

Innovation has been relatively slow in the aviation sector compared to other industries, but it’s incredibly important for airlines and flight schools alike to go above and beyond to reach a level of progress that will help maintain the level of services expected. Egnatia Aviation is one of Europe’s leading flight training academies, driving change and empowering aspiring pilots with state-of-the-art facilities, cutting-edge technologies and key B2B partnerships to transform the learning environment. Focusing on Egnatia’s outstanding Lydia Aerodrome, which was completely renovated in 2022 with the aim of becoming the biggest GA centre not only in Europe but also worldwide is essential.

If you are looking for professional pilot training, this unique location provides everything from a theoretical training centre to flight simulators, specialist ground crews, refuelling stations, student accommodation, aircraft ground support and so much more.

Airline Pilot Training at the Lydia Aerodrome

The Lydia Aerodrome has been designed to fully support new pilots, with a wider goal for the advancement of the aviation landscape. This means that there is something for everyone, whether you are looking for specific training models, to hone techniques using specialist equipment, or you’d love to train in a stunning location with exclusive, privately owned facilities. Here is what you can expect:

• Top navigational facilities
• Extended hours of operation
• A comprehensively equipped aerodrome with exclusive services for aspiring pilots, experienced pilots, flight crews and even guests
• Highly qualified personnel – from tutors to maintenance crews
• A stunning learning landscape in northeastern Greece
• The latest in flight simulators
• Training support for an array of courses, from Ab-initio packages to advanced courses and everything in between

 

The Lydia Aerodrome supports an immersive experience in a multicultural environment. Moreover, it brings modern focuses for cadets with a day and night VFR-approved runway, an extendable apron space for different kinds of aircraft, and FBO facilities for a blend of holistic and studious training.

Outstanding B2B Partnerships and Collaborations for Aspiring Pilots

A pivotal aspect of transformation in the aviation industry is building B2B partnerships and collaborations. Not only is it extremely important to share knowledge and diversify the sometimes stale face of aviation with powerhouse B2B collaborations, but it’s also important to ensure that pilots passing training have access to worthwhile job opportunities to incentivize and cultivate the excitement and passion for flying of the next generation.

Egnatia Aviation understands this more than most and has worked hard to build strategic aviation B2B partnerships for airline pilot training with Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, Iraqi Airways and Wizz Air.

It’s building relationships such as these that are not only important to support aspiring pilots, but also to ensure that the aviation industry is able to power progress for the future – and there are now opportunities with these airlines for new pilot onboarding and much more that were once unachievable for those new to the industry.

Supporting Research and Development at the Lydia Aerodrome

Building a strong learning environment isn’t the only key to driving industry change; research and development can be just as pivotal to ensuring the industry can:

• maintain its high standards,
• align with goals
• and keep up with an ever-changing and evolving digital and tech-driven world.

 

The Lydia Aerodrome is taking the reigns, acting as a research and development centre that works with the Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT) and the Center for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) to enhance research and laboratory infrastructures through collaborative efforts.

It already has approval to undertake research programmes including DEMOQUAS and HAIKU, with ICESAFE and GOOD2FLY under review, as well as building strategic research partnerships with the Center for Research & Technology Hellas, Aristotle University and Demokritus University.

The Aviation Branch’s collaboration with both Lydia Airport and Egnatia Aviation focuses on blending research with exclusive training activities to boost the industry and improve flight safety for all.

Leveraging the Power of Maintenance and CAMO Services at Lydia Airport

The best facilities, the top training protocols, research and development, extensive courses and the latest in flight training technology are all underpinned by one thing: maintenance. Without the right teams and protocols in place, none of Egnatia Aviation’s efforts would be fully achievable. CAMO services for aircraft safety and regulatory compliance ensure that nothing short of the most dedicated and skilled teams are utilised for safety checks and building compliance.

The Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation outlines the expected maintenance activities and procedures to keep aircraft airworthy. Egnatia Aviation implements its EASA-approved maintenance organisation (AMO) that aligns with CAMO protocols for the safest and most secure approach to operational efficiency for training equipment, as well as for commercial and private aircraft.

A Closer Look at the Economic and Industry Impact of Aviation and B2B collaborations

To fully power aviation progress, flight training academies like Egnatia also need to approach services with sensitivity to economic and industry needs. It’s no secret that pilot shortages have been projected, as outlined in this report by Boeing, so offering attractive facilities and affordable training packages can be key to bringing in fresh talent and reducing the reasons behind the drop in aircraft personnel (such as a higher entry age and lower retirement age).

Egnatia’s B2B partnerships are a fantastic way to ensure that skills are fully developed and that jobs are created within the industry for newly qualifying cadets, while extending networking, widening the scope for education and building relationships to really transform the current landscape.

The Strategic Importance of the Lydia Aerodrome and B2B Partnerships

Egnatia Aviation has worked hard to establish itself as an innovator in aviation, taking a comprehensive approach to supporting the industry by providing high-end facilities, strong B2B collaborations, enhancing aviation research and overall making aircraft and airspace a safer place to be. Their efforts over the last decade are not only renowned, but also show exciting opportunities for future growth prospects; for the flight school itself, those hoping to become pilots, airports and the wider industry. It’s never been more important than now to stay ahead of the curve to provide services to modern audiences, and Egnatia Aviation is doing just that.
