Blue Line Aviation Swoops in Order for 100 Diamond Aircraft

Blue Line Aviation placed an order for 50 Diamond Aircraft, including single engine DA40 NGs, twin engine DA42-VIs and a Diamond Simulator, with an option for up to 50 additional aircraft.

The order comes less than a year after Blue Line Aviation’s 8 year anniversary, which was celebrated with the delivery of a new DA 40 NG from Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Blue Line has now increased its fleet of modern aircraft to 16 aircraft, including 10 DA40 NGs and two DA42-VIs. Operating new Diamond Aircraft allows students to train in modern, technologically advanced aircraft.

The demand for career and hourly airport staff will likely climb in 2021, according to industry prognosticators. Find out more in  Gateway Opportunities: Airport Careers.

Trey Walters, CEO and Founder of Blue Line Aviation said, “Currently, we train approximately 40 full time students at a time in our 5.5 month career pilot course. We expect to triple that, or more, with the new aircraft and recently announced full student financing. We’ve been able to change lives through flight training and do some good in the world. At the end of the day, that’s what matters.”

Blue Line is also in the midst of constructing a new $16-million, 50,000-square-foot headquarters at Johnston Regional Airport, North Carolina, with plans to permanently relocate in 2021. The flight training facility will feature hangar space, the Professional Pilot Training Center, a barbeque restaurant and rooftop terrace, simulator room, operations center and dispatch, flight briefing rooms, and Diamond Aircraft Maintenance, and administrative offices.
