SIA, Airbus team up to open pilot training school in Singapore
SIA and Airbus have opened a new pilot training school in Seletar, amid a growing demand for cockpit crew in the region. The move is expected to further boost Singapore’s status as a key aviation hub, industry analysts said. When fully operational by 2019, the 9,250 sq m facility at Seletar Aerospace Park will be Airbus’ fourth and biggest training centre. The US$100m facility in Singapore will eventually have 8 full-flight simulators and 6 fixed cockpit training devices as well as classrooms. It will have the capacity to train more than 10,000 people a year The Airbus Asia Training Centre is 55% owned by Airbus, with the rest owned by SIA. It is a key investment for the airline, said SIA CE Goh Choon Phong, and in line with the carrier’s "transformative strategy to go beyond the core business into adjacent areas". <br/>
