Sharjah flight line was closed voluntarily in December as always planned…
Yes, the company had always planned on closing the flightline by the end of the year. The original date was November, which was then extended to December when they had students who were not finished with Core Flying yet. But after the GCAA found out about a string of accidents, as well as corruption, and poor treatment of not only students, but some of the staff who were working well over legal duty hours to get the students completed, they did the right thing and put a grinding halt to operations in Sharjah.
So it’s all well said and done that the Academy voluntary closed the flight line in December as planned, but this was a month after the GCAA put a stop to everything. If not the remaining students on the flight line would surely have completed flight training, and wouldn’t have to go to Australia to complete.
