Owned and established by Fernando González Sanchez, Aerofan FTO is a certified Flight Training Organisation situated at Madrid Cuatro Vientos Airport in Spain. The company’s fleet comprises Cessna 152, Cessna 172, and Cessna 310 aircraft, providing training programs for private and commercial pilots along with courses for flight attendants.
History
Aerofan was created in 1992, starting with just one Cessna 152. Between 2002 and 2007, the organization experienced consistent growth fueled by a substantial international student population. It emerged as one of Spain’s premier pilot academies with a focus on global flight training.
In 2009, Fernando González initiated IMD Airways, which operated an MD87 under a wet-lease agreement for two years. By 2011, Aerofan’s fleet had been reduced to three airplanes due to asset disposals and aircraft decommissioning. Although IMD Airways has since stopped its operations, Aerofan remains active in the flight training sector.
