Will the weather slow down my training?
Safety is our main priority, and that is why our daily activity is largely dictated by the weather. Fortunately, One Air operates mainly at the Málaga International Airport, as well as in Velez-Málaga. Operating in this area allows us to fly throughout the year. We make the most of the days with bad weather to offer our students simulator training sessions as much as possible. In this way we manage to stick to the training periods established for the duration of the course.
