Alteon Training's New General Manager, Brisbane Training
Centre
Alteon Training, a wholly-owned
subsidiary Boeing, has appointed John Alp as general manager for
the new Brisbane Training Centre currently under construction in
Queensland, Australia.
In his new position, Alp will be responsible for
training operations in Brisbane. He will report to Bill Gardner,
vice president - Asia/Pacific at the Alteon Asia/Pacific regional
office in Seoul, South Korea.
Alp has more than 25 years of
experience in the aviation industry. He was an Instructor Navigator
in the Royal Australian Air Force, Flight Operations Ground
Instructor with Qantas, advised on setting up the Kuwait Naval
Training School following the Gulf War, and joined CAE Australia as
its Regional General Manager. Prior to joining Alteon (formerly
FlightSafetyBoeing), he had his own company and successfully
represented a number of U.S. companies in Australia.
Alteon will offer a vast range of aviation training services at
the new training center - the first for Alteon in this region. The
state-of-the-art facility will be built next door to the Brisbane
Airport and is expected to have its first customers by the first
quarter of 2004.
The Brisbane Training Centre will have six
full-flight simulators, which have the capability to train 4,500
pilots annually. The equipment being installed at the center
includes Boeing 737-700/-800 and 717-200 full-flight simulators.
The Brisbane Training Centre is one of several facilities Alteon
plans to strategically locate near customers throughout
Asia/Pacific.
