The joint venture will initially operate four (4)\nfull-flight simulators, including two Airbus A320neo, one Boeing 737NG, and one\nATR 72-600, as well as cabin crew training equipment, and will have space for\nthree (3) additional full-flight simulators. At full capacity, the center will\nbe able to train up to 3,500 pilots (42,000 pilot training hours) and many more\ncabin crew annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Flight Training Centre expands CAE’s global training\nnetwork and is integral to the creation of AEGEAN’s aviation ecosystem in\nGreece. This is part of AEGEAN’s \u20ac 140 million investment to bolster the local\naviation industry and position the airline and Greece as an aviation hub in\nSoutheastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flight Training Center will be powered by solar energy\nproduced by the 35,000 m2 of photovoltaic panels embedded in AEGEAN’s new\n“green” hangar, generating 3 MW or 4.4 Gwh of electricity annually,\nand located at one of Europe’s most sustainable airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dimitris Gerogiannis, CEO of AEGEAN, commented: “It is\nwith great pride that I announce this significant partnership with CAE, the\nglobal leader in civil aviation training, to establish the first aviation\necosystem for flight training and technical support services in Greece. AEGEAN\nand CAE bring their distinct expertise and know-how to the joint venture, but\nthey share common values when it comes to developing people. From the very\nbeginning, AEGEAN’s vision has been to add significant value to our country and\nthe local aviation industry by giving our people the opportunity to sharpen\ntheir skills and reach their full potential. I am excited to see how the two\nteams come together to create a common culture of excellence at our new\ntraining center. This is an investment in the future of aviation. An investment\nthat will grow our business and industry, but more importantly, will give\nlimitless potential to our people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re excited to partner with AEGEAN to create the\nmost advanced Flight Training Centre in the region and expand our commercial\naviation training network to Athens,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s Group\nPresident, Civil Aviation. “AEGEAN and CAE have shared values and we look\nforward to joining forces to elevate human performance and deliver an unrivaled\ntraining experience for pilots and cabin crew. As an integral part of Greece’s\nnewly established aviation ecosystem, we look forward to a successful joint venture\nwith AEGEAN and to seeing the aviation industry flourish in Greece and the\nentire region.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
