HCM City (VNA) – The Airbus Vietnam Training Centre (AVTC) has received
regulatory approvals by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) and
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the provision of A320 Type Rating courses.
AVTC owns two A320 Full Flight Simulators and two A320 Flight
Training Devices, which are located at the Vietjet Aviation Academy (VJAA) in
Ho Chi Minh City and are operated by Airbus and Vietjet. The facilities are
currently used primarily by Vietjet for recurrent and instructor training.
AVTC has plans to install a third simulator to meet Vietjet’s increasing
pilot training needs.
Each A320 Type Rating course run will last over a six-week
period and AVTC expects to train up to eight pilots each month.
“We are here to meet Vietjet’s pilot training
needs. After being granted
all the necessary regulatory approvals by both the CAAV and the EASA, AVTC is
passing an important milestone. We are pleased to support Vietjet as it
continues to invest in its future through the latest training services,” said
William Tauzin, General Manager of AVTC.
“We congratulate AVTC on receiving these important regulatory
approvals. VJAA is a comprehensive training facility to train pilots, cabin
crew, engineers and aviation staff, for not only Vietjet but also our regional
peers. Besides the simulators and flight training devices from Airbus, VJAA is
also equipped with cabin simulators, emergency training facilities and
Olympic-standard wave pools. Vietjet is glad to continue our close partnership
with Airbus in further investing in the most modern and advanced training
devices to meet the development demands of Vietjet and others in the future,”
added Luong The Phuc, Vietjet Vice President of Training.
