Spain – Adventia, European College of Aeronautics and the flight school of the University of Salamanca, has taken delivery of the first of eight Cirrus SR20 G7+ aircraft to be added to its fleet throughout 2026, becoming the first European flight school to incorporate the model into pilot training operations.

• The eight Cirrus SR20 G7+ aircraft will be progressively integrated into Adventia's operations at the Matacán Aeronautical Campus, with the full fleet expected to be in place before the end of 2026.
