Skyborne has announced an expansion of its training facility at Gloucestershire Airport.

The project includes extra hangar space for its growing aircraft fleet, more classrooms for ground training and additional breakout rooms for trainees and staff.

The Gloucestershire site will work alongside Skyborne’s Bournemouth base to deliver UKCAA and EASA Integrated ATPL courses, military conversions and modular training.

Chief executive Lee Woodward said the investment reflects Skyborne’s commitment to Gloucestershire’s economic growth and the future pilot pipeline.

The expansion is also expected to support growth in instructor, mechanic and other business roles.
