Avion Express, one of the largest narrow-body ACMI operator, has launched the MPL Training Programme with its long-term partner BAA Training, one of the biggest independent aviation training centres in Europe.
The competency-focused MPL Training Programme, that is set to begin in August 2019, is based on a multi-crew training that imitates the actual cockpit experience working at the airline. It will cover all stages of pilot training, as well as integrate Avion Express procedures from the very first days. Thus, after completing the comprehensive training, the newly qualified pilots will be fully submerged in the company’s culture and ready to start flying right away.
Other than training under the multi-pilot cockpit conditions, the new MPL Training Programme will bring concrete job prospects and security, beneficial both for pilots and the airline. “Launching the Programme will mean that the pilots will be ready to take the First Officer seat in Avion Express aircraft immediately after the course completion. The comprehensive skills that they will receive during the MPL Training Programme will bring the best efficiency to us as well as our clients,” says Stasys.
BAA Training is a long-term partner of Avion Express. As part of this partnership, BAA Training has been providing the full-flight simulators for the pilot training of Avion Express. Additionally, the two companies created an Ab-Initio Cadet Programme for people with no flying experience and Type Rating Training Programme.
