During the Aviation India Summit and Exhibition 2024, Khushbeg Jattana – General Manager of Simaero India, a new full flight simulator (FFS) training center by global operator of FFS training center’s shared the group’s plan to invest $100 million into expanding India’s pilot training infrastructure.

“Honored to be part of a power-packed panel discussing a critical topic: How the Indian pilot training infrastructure is supporting the growth of airlines. The session brought together experienced minds:

• Bobby Sharma, CEO of Chimes Aviation Academy
• Ryan Van Wijk, CEO of Alt Academy
• Romy Hawatt, Chairman of Airways Aviation

With aircraft orders reaching a record 1600, the number of pilots to be granted licenses will soon touch approximately 2000 per year. This highlights the urgent need for India to ramp up its pilot training infrastructure. I’m thrilled to share that Simaero is stepping up to meet this challenge by setting up a state-of-the-art simulator facility near Delhi Airport with an initial investment of $100 million.

A big thank you to Maximilian Buerger for moderating such a brilliant discussion and highlighting the key points for the growth of our pilot training infrastructure.” shared Khushbeg Jattana, General Manager of Simaero India
