This will enable the airline to conduct training programs for pilots and cabin crews from its headquarters in Kuwait.

The certification confirms that Jazeera complies with the Part-ORA (Organisation Requirements for Aircrew), Part-FCL (Flight Crew Licenses) and other applicable regulations. The airline can offer training programs for deck and cabin crew that include:

•          A320 Type Training

•          Cross Crew Qualification (CCQ)

•          Initial Safety and Emergency Procedures Training For Deck and Cabin Crew.

Jazeera vice president of Flight Operations, Captain Ayman Al Shammari, said: “This a significant move for Jazeera Airways as it expands its capabilities and ensures our ability to train the required manpower for future growth. Our team has been working on completing the certification for the past year and is ready today to train fresh graduates looking to become new airline crews. It’s another proud milestone for Jazeera in our contribution to the aviation sector in Kuwait and the region.”

As part of its expanding capabilities as an “Approved Training Organization”, Jazeera has announced plans to invest in building a new training facility in Kuwait equipped with the latest approved training equipment. This state-of-the-art facility will include an Airbus 320 simulator and safety and emergency training equipment for crew training.

Expanding Fleet

Jazeera recently completed an order with Airbus at the Dubai Airshow for 28 new aircraft: twenty A320neos and eight A321neos. The order is valued at $3.4 billion.
