The order comes less than a year after Blue Line Aviation\u2019s\n8 year anniversary, which was celebrated with the delivery of a brand new DA 40\nNG from Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Blue Line, North Carolina\u2019s leading\nflight training provider, has increased its fleet of modern aircraft to 16\naircraft, including ten DA40 NGs and two DA42-VIs. The company was founded in\n2012 with one goal in mind: to provide the highest quality flight instruction\nin a professional environment. Operating new Diamond Aircraft aligns with that\ngoal, allowing students to train in modern, technologically advanced aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe timing of this aircraft order marks a significant\nmilestone for Blue Line Aviation\u201d, said Scott McFadzean, CEO of Diamond\nAircraft Industries Inc., \u201cWe have followed the tremendous growth of this\noperation very closely and are impressed with their laser focused vision\ntowards the future during this pandemic, which has caused a drastic shift in\nshort-term pilot demand in the industry. We are proud to count them among our\ngreater Diamond Family and look forward to continuing and growing the\npartnership for many more years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful to everyone that has played a part in making\nBlue Line what it is today. We couldn\u2019t have done it without the hard work of\nour staff, students, and friends at Diamond Aircraft,\u201d said Trey Walters, CEO\nand Founder of Blue Line Aviation. \u201cCurrently, we train approximately 40 full\ntime students at a time in our 5.5 month career pilot course. We expect to\ntriple that, or more, with the new aircraft and recently announced full student\nfinancing. We\u2019ve been able to change lives through flight training and do some\ngood in the world. At the end of the day, that\u2019s what matters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Line is also in the midst of constructing a new\n$16-million, 50,000-square-foot headquarters at Johnston Regional Airport\n(KJNX) with plans to permanently relocate in 2021.
