The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) has announced plans to launch an aviation training campus in India. The CAPA AeroPark, as it will be known, will be designed to service a wide range of operational and educational training requirements for airlines, airports, ANS providers, government and suppliers. The AeroPark will include academies for pilot training, air traffic control, engineering and maintenance, air traffic control, airport operations, airline executive management, cabin and ground crew.
Peter Harbison, Executive Chairman of CAPA, stated; “We are very excited to launch this new and timely concept in India to support the long-term growth of the aviation sector. There is an emerging global shortage of skilled human resources in the industry, which is particularly acute in rapidly emerging markets such as India and neighbouring regions.”
Each of the training centres within the AeroPark will be managed by world renowned aviation brands. Harbison added, “By working only with the leading global training providers, we intend to establish and maintain quality standards at the highest international levels.”
Locations in Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai and Pune are currently being evaluated and the final location will be announced in early 2009. The first phase of the CAPA AeroPark is scheduled to open in Q1 2010.
