Skywings Takes Delivery Of Two Diamond DA-40 NG Aircraft

Training Future Airline Pilots In Antwerp And Alicante

Skywings Flight Training announced it has taken delivery of two Diamond DA40 NG aircraft at Diamond Aircraft’s headquarters in Neustadt, Austria. The aircraft will be used to train future airline pilots.

The aircraft are the first two of four that Skywings will receive this year, bringing their fleet total to 8 Diamond aircraft. The four most recent were ordered along with a DA40/42 FNPT II simulator at the European Airline Training Symposium in Cascais, Portugal, in November 2023. The simulator is installed at the Antwerp training facility.

Skywings is based at the Antwerp Airport (ICAO: EBAW) in Belgium and also has a training base in Alicante, Spain.

Pieter Brantegem, Chief Commercial Officer at Skywings explained, “We have chosen to operate a full Diamond fleet because of their unmatched reliability and cutting-edge technology, which is critical for training the next generation of airline pilots.

 

“The low fuel consumption is an important factor in our commitment to efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the seamless transition between the simulator, single-engine, and twin-engine variants enables our students to develop the skills needed for a smooth progression throughout their training journey.”

The single-engine, four-place Diamond DA40 NG is powered by an Austro Engine AE 300 turbocharged diesel engine with 168 hp and an EECU single lever control system, running on Jet A-1 for cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
