Aviation training centre Baltic Aviation Academy (BAA) based inVilnius,Lithuania, expands capacities for Boeing 737 NG and Airbus A320 type rating trainings by adding trainings in the full-flight simulators (FFS) in Prague, Czech Republic. Capacity expansion is the result of the agreement betweenBalticAviationAcademyand CAE, leading provider of simulation and modeling technologies and integrated training solutions for the civil aviation and defense forces.
CAE will relocate a B737NG full-flight simulator to the Czech Airlines (CSA) training centre. CAE also dealt to moderate wet and dry third-party training on two FFSs owned by Czech Airlines – a CAE-built Boeing 737 Classic FFS and an A320 simulator.
„BalticAviationAcademygets an increasing number of requests for B737 NG and A320 pilot trainings, so the expanded capabilities will help to meet the booming demand for the trainings on these aircraft types. For example, when the particular simulator is overloaded inLithuania, we will offer our clients to conduct their training inPrague. Partnership with CAE opens us an access to extensive training resources for our customers, which are of the highest quality on the market”, said Egle Vaitkeviciute, CEO atBalticAviationAcademy.
