Within the Spanish Civil War, they performed missions jointly with the famous German JU-87 Stuka. After comparing both aircrafts in combat, the BA.65 Nibbio was considered to be not far from the performance and capabilities of the German model.

Twenty-five aircraft were sold to the Royal Iraqi Air Force that used them against British troops in the little-known Anglo-Iraqi War of 1941.

The Chilean, Paraguayan and Portuguese Air Forces had the Nibbio in their lines, although in small quantities. Chile had twenty in service and Portugal only had ten aircrafts.
