The facility will be a maintenance facility with some sims for pilot training. It’s not clear whether they will take self sponsoring students through their type rating and use some 3rd party operation to supply aircraft for base training or whether they will just provide sim continuation training for rated pilots either self sponsoring or under contract to operators that do not have sufficient training capacity. Maybe they will compete with OAA/ CAE to train RYR cadets, only time will tell.
As for the 1000 jobs, that’s just a BS statistic, they may well protect the future of 1000 jobs when you consider 3rd party organisations and agencies that will supply/ support Cardiff Aviation but as far as direct employment is concerned then 100 might be more like the number.
However any job creation/ job protection scheme has to be good news so I wish them all the best.
