Government Forecasts 40,000 Pilots In China By 2015
Baltic Aviation Academy is positioning its self for new markets in pilot training business development. After successful audit completion of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), a Flight Simulation Device Certificate has been issued for the school's Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator. Baltic Aviation Academy management said it is glad that the training center's equipment has been deemed sufficient to serve Chinese airlines.
The Airbus A320 is one of the most frequent types of aircraft flown by airlines in Europe as well as in China. Air China, will be the first Chinese client for the center. ‘Being approved by the CAAC Baltic Aviation Academy is enabled to enter the China’s market as the reliable aviation training provider. We are very keen to start business development in this market and hopefully be a part of pilot shortage problem solution,’ commented Egle Vaitkeviciute, the CEO at Baltic Aviation Academy.
According to CAAC data, in 2010 there were 24,000 pilots in China. The CAAC forecasts show that by the year 2015 the numbers should reach 40,000. This substantial growth confirms that an average of 3,200 new pilots is needed every year, however at the moment; existing flight training schools are only producing 2,000 new pilots a year. Baltic Aviation Academy seeks to facilitate the new students and help to eliminate the shortage of professional pilots China is facing.
