The flying school’s activity has generated over 15,000 aircraft operations at Castellón airport
Arcadi España, the councillor for Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility, has emphasised the important activity being developed by the flying schools in Castellón airport, as is shown by the more than 15,000 aircraft movements since 2015.
The councillor was accompanied on her visit by the Aerocas general director, Blanca Marín, and the director general of Ports, Airports and Coasts, María Luisa Martínez, to the Panamedia facilities, one of the pilot training academies which operates in Castellón airport.
According to the announcement, training “is one of the pillars on which the airport’s diversification strategy is based” and it was emphasised that the flying schools “are revitalising the activity of the infrastructure and generating a positive impact on the territory, besides positioning the airport in the aviation world, with it becoming a reference for future pilots and professionals in the sector”.
Arcadi España gave details of how between 2015 and 2020, flying schools made a total of 15,263 operations. The main activity started in 2019, coinciding with the airport’s drive to strengthen this form of business.
Also, he added that this support for training activity favoured the airport having the greatest number of operations in 2020 since its opening to traffic, in spite of the serious crisis in the aviation sector associated with the coronavirus pandemic, which caused a global fall in air traffic.
Arcadi España’s visit to the Panamedia facilities took place during the 8-M Women’s International Day, for which reason the Department of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility had designed the “Women, Transport and Urban Agenda” project, configured as a range of events and initiatives to contribute to raising the visibility of women.
In line with this, the councillor was interviewed with the director of the Castellón and Valencia Panamedia base, Montse Subirats, and with different female instructors and students at the academy.
Arcadi España assessed “the growing role of women in the aviation sector, assuming highly responsible positions”. Regarding this, the Panamedia director described that between 35% and 40% of the students following studies at the centre to obtain the pilot’s license are women, a percentage which continues to increase year by year.
