The flight operations of the school account for 54% of the total General Aviation activity in Greece and 82% of the total movement at Kavala International Airport until December 2022.

Starting from January 2023, the activity has been transferred to the first private general aviation airport, "Lydia," in Amygdaleon, Kavala, Greece.
