The Dubai based global aviation education & training group – Airways Aviation and Asia Pacific Flight Training Academy (APFT) India, has signed a strategic alliance partnership to provide prospective Indian students & Airline cadets access to a new and innovative Pilot Pathway Program from May 2023.
“It is great to visit India again and I am very impressed at the progress being made” said Mr. RomyHawatt, Airways Aviation Group – Founder & Chairman.We feel we have found the right organization to grow and develop our strategic plans. The Triple A Airways Aviation Group is not only the largest global private aviation academy but also has one of the world’s largest privately owned training fleets.
APFT has been actively seeking international partners we believe we will be able to enhance the standards of training, facilities and our fleet thereby helping India attain her coveted goal of becoming a world class aviation training hub, as envisioned by the MOCA “said Mr. Hemanth D.P., CEO – APFT.
The Indian aviation industry and the government are focused on developing a robust pipeline of well-trained pilots and other Aviation professionals. It is therefore prudent that Indian Flight Training Organizations (along with their airline counterparts) establish new and robust strategic education & training alliances with reputed, capable & established international partners.
The new Airways Aviation India office will be located at the GMR Aero Towers along with the APFT office at The Aero City Hyderabad International Airport campus and we plan to start delivering our Pilot Foundation program to prospective Indian aviators from May” said Mr. Hawatt.
The Airways Aviation/APFT Program will include several flexible training programs designed for both student and airline partner needs. These include hybrid programs offering both Indian DGCA and EASA (European) or CASA (Australian), Commercial Pilot Licenses, alongwith options for Aviation Graduate Degree programs from European and Australian universities. APFT has purchased 3 Diamond DA40s and has plans to procure over 20 aircraft in the coming years.
