Anticipates 40,000 Flight Training Hours Per Year
A groundbreaking ceremony was held October 25 beginning construction for BAA Training China, a modern six full flight simulator aviation training center. The center is being built under a Joint Venture agreement between Avia Solutions Group and Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Company (HNCA) signed in July, 2019. As part of the agreement, the companies are moving to the new BAA Training training center in Zhengzhou city, Henan province (China).
The training center is set to open its doors in the second half of 2020. It is being designed to provide up to 40,000 flight hours per year, and train approximately 4,000 pilots. As aviation experts predict, Asia Pacific area demand for new commercial pilots will account for 38% of the global demand with more than half of it to fulfil China’s market. Boeing has just recently updated their forecast for the upcoming twenty years, stating that Chinese carriers will need 8,090 new planes until 2038, which exceeds the previously predicted figure by 5.2%.
The companies are building the state-of-art training facilities on a parcel in the Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone (ZAEZ). It will be equipped it with 6 Airbus and Boeing full flight simulators, training devices, modern classrooms and lounge areas. The training center will be about 15 minutes’ drive from the Zhengzhou Airport, allowing pilots to cut down on time spent travelling for training. The well-developed infrastructure is ready to fulfil not only the technical needs for the training center establishment, but also the future development projects.
“Not only we are eager to enter China’s aviation training market, but also work on synergies with local government and partners in order to contribute to the Henan aviation market development projects”, shares Egle Vaitkeviciute, BAA Training CEO.
