Cadet Pilot Training in Aust/ NZ - help required
I am completing an honours year of a BComm degree at Melb Uni. As I have a long standing interest in things aviation I will be doing a project on the cadet pilot training industry in Australian and NZ. The plan is to do a fairly comprehensive study of numbers, origins of students , net economic impact etc etc. Also complete an analysis on the competition to the Aust/ NZ industry who is going to N America, S Africa etc etc.
I have done some initial research online , industry magazines etc and have come up with the following list. I am not looking for any financial data as a global figure will be applied to each ab-inition cadet. Would really appreciate this help for people to add further information to what I have been able to put together below - as I am not a pilot or flying instructor - Flight Training Adelaide: China Airlines (Taiwan) - Numbers ? - Current Contract ? Emirates Airlines - Numbers ? - have current contract Cathay Pacific - Numbers - growing to 60 to 80 pa - have current contract Dragonair - Numbers around 30 pa - have current contract JapanExpress - Numbers ? - Current Contract ? Vietnam Airlines - Numbers ? - Current Contract ? Hainan Airlines ??? Air China (mainland China - still active at FTA??) General Flying Service Vietnam Airlines - Numbers ? - Current Contract ? Point Cook campus of GFS - various Chinese airlines ? anyone have more information ? China Northern in early 2000's - still active ? Oman Air - active fairly recently ? - 15 pa RMIT/ GFS Read on RMIT website about training 90 cadets for Air China and Xiamen Airlines during 2006/07 - are there ongoing arrangements here ? Australian Wings Academy (Gold Coast) AirAsia - Numbers 60 to 80 pa - is contract ongoing ? China Southern Large school in WA - now owned by the airline - can graduate up to 300 pa - currently doing ? MFTA (Moorabin Flight training academy) Although based at Mangalore - seems to have graduated many groups from Mainland China for the last few years Does anyone know what airlines they are destined for ? There is a picture of a China Southern aircraft on the website which seems a little odd as China Southern have their own school in WA. Chinese Airline Cadets Clearly many are coming to Australia for pilot training - it is difficult to get a full picture as to what airlines they are destined for , where training is done in Australia and what the numbers are. I have heard various rumours that many China Eastern cadets have been trained here - some by Interair at Essendon. Are there regular schools that take the Chinese cadets - then they farm out any excess to other flying schools ? RQAC - Airline Academy of Australia Training cadets for China Airlines - did they take this over from FTA or do China Airlines use both providers - are any other airline cadets trained in Qld ? Singapore Flying College Campuses in both WA and Qld wholly owned by SIA and graduating cadets for SIA, Silkair and SIA Cargo - all training fully sponsored by parent airline. SATA - Singapore Aerospace Technologies - Ballarat Established a large school at Ballarat over recent years - are they doing any cadet training ? New Zealand Clearly some good flying schools and significant international provider of training - seems a little hard to gather concrete information on. Ardmore Flying College has done cadet training for Xiamen airlines in the past - is this ongoing. What other schools in NZ are involved in this activity? |
mate, you might want to re-post this in the Dunnunda forums further on down the list, which is specifically for Aust/NZ. Post it in the questions subforum rather than reporting however first use the search function - you'd be surprised what you might find! :ok:

AirAsia - Numbers 60 to 80 pa - is contract ongoing ? Contract isn't on going anymore. And they have lost another contract, Oman air, doesn't that tell you how disorganised a company can be?? Mohammad |
