New Flying Academy in UAE

Alpha Aviation Group, the specialist global aviation training provider and Air Arabia (PJSC), the first and largest low cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa announced today at Dubai Airshow the signing of a joint venture agreement to launch a new multi-million dollar International Aviation Training Academy based in Sharjah, UAE.

Alpha Aviation Academy (UAE) LLC is the second of Alpha’s global network of International Aviation Academies and will be modelled on its existing academy, Clark Aviation based in the Philippines. In addition to satisfying Air Arabia’s own internal needs for pilots to man its expanding fleet of aircraft, the Academy will also train and supply pilots for other carriers in the region. Operations are scheduled to commence early in 2008 training ab-initio airline pilots under the new ICAO Multi Crew Pilot Licence. Phase II will extend operations to include training for cabin crew, engineering and other aviation operational personnel. Following on going discussions with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority, the application for approval of the Academy is in process.

His Excellency Mohammed Ghanim Al Ghaith, Director General of the GCAA said, “We have already communicated to Air Arabia that we are fully supportive of their plans to establish a joint venture with Alpha Aviation Group to create an International Aviation Academy in Sharjah training ab-initio MPL pilots.”

Mark Pearson - CEO Alpha Aviation Group Ltd said “the Gulf region is strategically very important in our global network strategy and we are delighted to be embarking on this venture with Air Arabia, the Middle East’s leading Low Cost Airline, to create a world-class International Aviation Academy serving the needs of the rapidly expanding aviation sector in the region.”Alpha Aviation Group, the specialist global aviation training provider and Air Arabia (PJSC), the first and largest low cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa announced today at Dubai Airshow the signing of a joint venture agreement to launch a new multi-million dollar International Aviation Training Academy based in Sharjah, UAE.
