Aeros Expands Training Fleet with Continued Investment in Tecnam and Diamond Aircraft

Aeros Flight Training is proud to announce the continued expansion of its training fleet, with the delivery of two additional Tecnam P-Mentor single-engine aircraft this month. These new arrivals follow the introduction of the first two P-Mentors earlier this summer and form part of Aeros’ long-term fleet renewal strategy.

The ongoing investment reflects Aeros’ commitment to providing students with access to modern, high-performance aircraft that support both current training needs and future growth. The P-Mentor’s advanced technology and fuel-efficient design make it ideally suited to the demands of high-quality modular pilot training. As part of Aeros’ wider move to upgrade its SEP fleet with Tecnams, this transition will deliver a significant reduction in carbon footprint for the same number of flight movements, a considerable step towards more sustainable flight training.

Further Tecnam aircraft are planned as the renewal programme continues, along with a number of Diamond DA42 twin-engine aircraft to strengthen Aeros’ multi-engine training capability across its bases.

Martin Lynch, Chief Operating Officer at Aeros, commented: “Keeping our fleet modern, reliable, and aligned with student and airline expectations is a core part of our strategy. The introduction of the P-Mentor, along with our continued investment in multi-engine aircraft, ensures we’re delivering the best possible training experience—both now and for the future. It’s an exciting time for Aeros and our students.”

Mike Hoft, Chief Flying Instructor, added: “The P-Mentor is a fantastic addition to our fleet, combining advanced avionics, real-world handling, and efficiency. It gives our students a training platform that truly prepares them for modern flight decks while keeping safety and simplicity at the core. As instructors, we’re excited to teach on this aircraft and see how it enhances the learning experience.”

This carefully phased approach ensures Aeros remains at the forefront of UK pilot training—offering a modern, reliable, and future-ready fleet that supports both safety and student success.
