Pilot students who are in the final, Phase 4 stage of the International Flight School in Galatina Air Base will move to Decimomannu Air Base on the Italian island of Sardinia by 2022. Earlier stage students will stay on at Galatina to take advantage of the freed-up space and start to switch over to new, M345 aircraft.
