Fredericton flight training centre eyes Indian students too

Federiction, New Brunswick: A new flight training centre for international students has just opened in Fredericton, and already officials say it could be one of the largest in Canada by the end of the year.
CANLink Aviation has set up a franchise of the Moncton Flight College and will begin training 60 student pilots from China.
Mike Doiron, the college’s chief executive officer and principal, said the potential is there for the college to train up to 700 students a year from China, and potentially from India as well.
“We have a long term target of 200 students per year training here in Fredericton,” CANLink President Mike Tilley said Wednesday as he addressed reporters in a hanger at the Fredericton airport.
The college already has more than 100 students from China, now training in Moncton.
The New Brunswick government has provided CANLink with a $1 million repayable loan.
