Acron Aviation to Provide A320 Type Rating Training for Air Astana at its London Training Center

United Kingdom & Kazakhstan – Acron Aviation today announced that it has been selected by Air Astana, the leading carrier of Kazakhstan, to deliver Airbus A320 Type Rating training from its London Training Center (LTC).

Under the new agreement, Air Astana will utilize the state-of-the-art facilities offered at Acron Aviation’s LTC, including dedicated briefing rooms and high fidelity, Level D Full Flight Simulators (FFS), and benefit from consistent, high-quality training outcomes that support its continued expansion and crew development objectives.

Acron Aviation’s proven track record for delivering world-class pilot training, the quality of its training center, and the digital support available to trainees were key factors in Air Astana’s selection.

Patrick Davis, VP & GM London Training Center, Acron Aviation, said: “We’re proud to support Air Astana’s A320 Type Rating requirements from our London Training Center, drawing on our expertise as an established training provider.” Davis continued, “adding such a respected international flag carrier to our customer base reinforces Acron Aviation’s position as a trusted provider of advanced flight training solutions.”

The training agreement deepens the partnership between the two companies, first established in 2020 when Air Astana purchased its first A320neo FFS from Acron Aviation – which was also the first of its type in Kazakhstan. This will be followed by a second A320neo, which is scheduled to enter service early next year at the airline’s training center in Astana.

Filippos Siakkas, COO, Air Astana added: “Partnering with Acron Aviation ensures access to dependable A320 Type Rating capacity for our pilots. Their experience and infrastructure provide the assurance of quality and throughput we value.”

The agreement represents another step in Acron Aviation’s mission to export UK-built training systems and curricula to a growing global customer base.

Flight School Management Software FlightLogger Highlights Student Progression Module to Keep Cadets on Pace in Flight Training

Global – Flight school management software provider FlightLogger has announced a forthcoming “Student Progression” module designed to enable proactive monitoring and scheduling of student‑cadet progress from day one through to graduation.

  • The module introduces a “Required Pace” metric for each student, derived from the programme’s target completion date, and compares it with the student’s actual “Booked Pace” (lessons scheduled) to identify ahead/behind status.

  • Training‑managers, schedulers and heads of training will be able to see real‑time cohort views and prioritise students who are falling behind before delays accumulate.

  • The tool integrates directly within the existing FlightLogger scheduling workflow—no external dashboards—so that operational teams can act within the same system they already use.

  • Customisation includes setting an averaging window (e.g., 1‑4 weeks) to reflect local scheduling conditions (holidays, weather‑downtime).

  • The module initially supports flight training programmes; ground‑training support is planned for a later release.

  • Existing FlightLogger customers will start with a trial period; after which Student Progression will be available as an add‑on module.

  • The feature will be previewed at European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) 2025 in Cascais.

  • FlightLogger’s core platform already supports scheduling, student‑management, compliance, maintenance and training‑program workflows.
