The strategic location of the Dubai training centre, located a few minutes’ drive from Al Maktoum International Airport, provides airlines with training infrastructure that is easily accessible from all parts of the globe. The training centre already houses a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certified ATR72-600 full flight simulator.

Ansett Aviation Training always strives to deliver the highest standards to our customers and associating ourselves with Airbus was a logical move as we are both companies that put quality first. We look forward to supporting Airbus with any requirement it might have in terms of pilot training infrastructure.”

“We have a strong commitment to the development of our Dubai Training Center operation including making any necessary investments into expanding our pilot training infrastructure as required by our valued clients such as Air Cairo. The United Arab Emirates is continuously enhancing its position as a global pilot training destination and provides the growing number of Airbus operators in the region with superb connectivity and access, ‘added Delany.

Captain Ahmed Shanan, Chairman of Air Cairo added: “Ansett Aviation Training has been a great partner in supporting Air Cairo’s pilot training requirements on the ATR72-600 fleet over the past year and we now look forward to expanding this to our growing Airbus A320 fleet training requirements.”
