ANA Launches Bid My Price Upgrades to Business Class
Airbus has signed a comprehensive flight training agreement with All Nippon Airways (ANA) to develop pilots.
The program will provide ANA Group and partner airline trainees with the training required to obtain their licenses, starting with no prior flying experience. It will begin later this year at Sevenair Academy in Ponte de Sor, Portugal, with 19 trainees set to start training.
A standardized curriculum based on Airbus’ flight training philosophy, methods, and learning tools will be adopted. The program will also incorporate the principles of Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA), a competency-based training and assessment system that incorporates safety insights.
Airbus forecasts that 633,000 new pilots will be needed worldwide over the next 20 years, including 104,000 in the Asia-Pacific region.
