Airbus Asia Training Centre (AATC) launches “Give Flight” programme

The Airbus Asia Training Centre (AATC) announced through its official LinkedIn page that it has already launched its “Give Flight” programme which is an initiative under Airbus Community Impact programme.

The community engagement initiative was held in partnership with Women in Aviation International Singapore Chapter which aims to enable and inspire young girls to explore and pursue careers in aviation.

According to its announcement quoted as follows: “An event was held at AATC this week in collaboration with four local non-profit organisations advocating for the less fortunate by offering educational opportunities and enrichment programmes. Altogether, 16 girls experienced an exciting morning filled with fun and educational activities at the training centre.

Following an opening address by Ms. Li San Poh, Vice-President of Changi Airport Group, elected Member of Parliament in Singapore and member of WAISG, the girls enjoyed a learning journey that included a career talk, an aviation industry briefing and an Airbus Pilot Transition APT trainer demonstration.

The highlight of the event saw each participant having a hands-on session in the Full Flight Simulators FFS, under the guidance of AATC’s instructors. ‘It was such as eye opening experience and I had so much fun!’ said one of the girls exuberantly.

Lanmei Training Centre climbs to new heights with FlightLogger

FlightLogger celebrates its first Cambodian partner as Lanmei Training Centre goes live with their digital FlightLogger platform. Adding Cambodia to the list of countries with at least one FlightLogger partner means that FlightLogger is now in 44 countries worldwide.

Cambodia-based Lanmei Training Centre established their training operations in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh only a year ago, and they have been busy ever since. Lanmei Training Centre today has the status of an ATO offering both MCC and type rating courses as well as aircraft maintenance, cabin crew, dispatcher, and other ground training.

It was the newly appointed CFI at Lanmei Training Centre, Yauheni “Eugene” Zakharankau, who contacted FlightLogger last spring to schedule an online demo. Eugene already knew FlightLogger’s digital solution from his previous position at another FlightLogger partner. “I always liked the simplicity of using FlightLogger for instructors and other key personnel. Also, it meets the requirements of our local CAA without any customization needed, and those are just some of many reasons why I recommended it to our general manager”, says Lanmei Training Centre’s Chief Flight Instructor.

Malindo Air partners with Asia Aeronautical Training Academy for cadet pilots and engineers

Malindo Air and Asia Aeronautical Training Academy (AATA) have signed a memorandum of agreement to collaborate on activities of mutual benefit which include producing future-ready pilots and engineers, programme and curriculum development; technical training; student and work placements; R&D and also innovation projects.

“Malindo Air is excited about our collaboration with AATA,” said the CEO of Malindo Air, Capt. Mushafiz Bin Mustafa Bakri. “We look forward to working with AATA. We are reviewing programming and graduate needs for Malindo Air to build their talent pipeline. 

We want to help AATA become a recognised leader in aviation training, and enjoy some of the highest reviews among the regional aviation academies with innovative flight training curriculum.”

Capt. Mushafiz added, “Aviation industry has been brought to a cruel halt for much of 2020 due to the pandemic crisis. However, we have seen border restrictions being lifted and travel looks to be booming again. But soon airlines will face a shortage of pilots, limiting their ability to meet demand because, during the pandemic, airlines shrunk their operations as demand plummeted. 

To slash operating costs when revenue was very low, many airlines incentivised their pilots to retire early so that airlines could stay afloat. Soon when travel demand soars again, airlines will need more pilots. We believe, now is a good time to look at becoming an airline pilot as a career opportunity.” 

AATA Executive Director, Ts Dr Mohammad Fahmi Abdul Ghafir said “As the demand for pilots takes off, people will start wondering how to become an airline pilot. AATA will be the best place for you. You can learn to fly an airplane right here at the AATA.  

We innovate our training programme so that you will be able to acquire 40-hour of working experience before you start your licence training. At the end of the licence training, we will enrol you in our unique Airline Preparation Programme. 

Using our newly purchased Boeing 737 simulator, we will train you to fly like an airline pilot. We are the only academy in Malaysia that offers such a programme. You will benefit from it.”  

AATA has been accredited by the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM) as an Approved Flight Training organisation. Among the training and courses that AATA is offering include obtaining Private Pilot Licence (PPL) for Aeroplane, Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) for Aeroplane, Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) Theoretical Knowledge, Instrument Rating for Aeroplane and Flight Instructor Course for Aeroplane.
