Aegean Airlines takes final A320ceo, invests in training

Aegean Airlines, which recently took delivery of its seventh and final Airbus A320ceo, is in the final stages of installing an A320 flight simulator training facility in Athens, Aegean MD Dimitris Gerogiannis said. The carrier operates 47 A320 family aircraft. “We have a simulator in Munich, and a fixed base A320 simulator, and we are also in the final stages of installing an A320 simulator in Athens. That way we shall be able to have our training in Greece. So we’ve developed the capacity and the necessary critical mass to allow us to pursue this investment, too,” Gerogiannis said, adding Aegean is investing in the training of 600 flight deck crew, 1,200 cabin crew and 340 technical staff. Gerogiannis said the carrier has created 900 new jobs over the past 3 years. This year the carrier is adding 1m seats. <br/>
