The opening ceremony held on June 14, 2020, marked the beginning of the activity of BAA Training China – a modern six full-flight-simulators‘ (FFS) aviation training center. Following the Joint Venture (JV) agreement between Avia Solutions Group PLC (ASG), a global multi-service aviation holding, and Henan Civil Aviation Development and Investment Company (HNCA), signed in July 2019, the companies have established the new BAA Training China training center in Zhengzhou city, Henan province, People‘s Republic of China.
The brand new training center is designed to provide the capacity of 40,000 flight hours per year and train approximately 4,000 pilots. With almost five hectares of land chosen in Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone (ZAEZ), the HNCA company has managed to build a state-of-art training facility exceeding 10,000 m². The training facility is planned to be equipped with six Boeing and Airbus family FFSs, training devices, modern classrooms, and a luxury lounge zone.
The newly-constructed modern training center will commence operations with Boeing 737-800 pilot training as the FFS of the type is currently being assembled. The future FFS placements per FFS type as well as their quantity at Zhengzhou training center will be closely related to market recovery speed, and specific client needs.
