Airbus plans US$40m training centre in India
Airbus has committed to build a US$40m aircrew and MRO training facility at Delhi, India to start operations in 2018. The centre will be fully owned by Airbus Group India and will feature 4 A320 full-flight simulators. Airbus EVP-strategy and marketing Kiran Rao said the new centre would equip tomorrow’s pilots and engineers with the skills to “operate and maintain contemporary and next-generation Airbus aircraft” that have been ordered by India-based carriers. Airbus, which has orders for 500 new aircraft in India from airlines has forecast a need of more than 1,600 passenger and cargo aircraft for India by 2034. Rao said the Delhi centre would “accelerate the pace of training to help match A320neo deliveries to India” and said it had a planned capacity for training some 8,000 pilots and 2,000 maintenance engineers up to 2028. <br/>
