United Arab Emirates – Vertical AUPRT, the Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training specialist of Action Flight Aviation Group based at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (OMRK), has hosted a management visit from Air Arabia Academy — welcoming Chief Flight Instructor Vinil Mathi and Business Development Manager Maha Jammoul for a facility tour and demonstration flight — signalling a developing institutional relationship between the UAE's specialist UPRT provider and one of the region's most active airline training organisations.
- The visit included a flight experience at Ras Al Khaimah, providing the Air Arabia Academy leadership team with first-hand exposure to Vertical AUPRT's on-aircraft Advanced UPRT delivery model using the Extra 330 aerobatic platform, which is specifically selected to expose pilots to realistic upset conditions and comprehensive manoeuvre envelopes not replicable in simulator-based training.
- Advanced UPRT — combining on-aircraft training with scenario-based instruction in genuine upset conditions — is an increasingly important component of airline-aligned training ecosystems, particularly as GCAA and EASA regulatory frameworks continue to emphasise Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) prevention as a leading cause of fatal accidents globally.
- Air Arabia Academy, the Sharjah-headquartered training arm of Air Arabia, provides pilot, cabin crew, and ground operations training aligned with GCAA and EASA standards, supporting Air Arabia's expanding fleet and regional training activities.
Statements
- "Thank you Capt. Vinil and Maha of Air Arabia Academy for taking the time to visit our facilities and fly with us at OMRK, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. Great to align and we are looking forward to providing great service to your growing operations with the AUPRT," said Wayne Jack, CEO, Action Flight Aviation and Vertical AUPRT.
