Affinity is proud to announce an incredible milestone, 90,000 flying hours. This achievement reflects the dedication, precision, and teamwork that underpin everything we do in support of the UK Military Flying Training System.
Every hour in the air represents countless hours of planning, maintenance, and operational expertise. From our engineers and technicians to our support teams, this milestone is the result of a shared commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation.
At top speed, the fastest aircraft in the fleet, Phenom could fly the circumference of the Earth over 1,800 times. It’s a striking reminder of the scale of this achievement and the capability of our fleet.
