AirAsia has signed a new joint venture with CAE, the flight training services company, to form an aviation training centre that intends to provide services for airlines across the region. The centre, to be named the Asian Aviation Academy, is the first project for the newly-formed JV company, Asian Aviation Centre of Excellence Sdn Bhd. It plans to provide AirAsia and other airlines with training services for pilots, flight attendants, engineers, ramp handlers, guest services staff and management. Pilot training programmes at the centre will be available from July while non-pilot training programmes will start in October. The training centre will be located at what is now the AirAsia Academy, a short distance from the low-cost carrier terminal at Sepang, Malaysia. Tony Fernandes, Group CEO of AirAsia, said; “The Asian Aviation Academy reflects AirAsia’s commitment towards developing the aviation industry in Asia. The new centre will offer world-class training, using the most modern modules and the latest training facilities that are on par with and far more cost effective than training in Europe or in the US.”Our goal is to make the centre a prominent ‘aviation university’ and to make it the largest training centre in Asia.”
