Flight Training Academy Opens in Dubai

Emirates Flight Training Academy, the state-of-the-art facility for training ab initio pilots was officially inaugurated on Nov. 14 during the Dubai Airshow. Located in Dubai, the Emirates Flight Training Academy has been established for eligible UAE nationals and international students. It will instill cadets with an airline culture and train pilots for the airline industry’s future requirements, TTN reported. The academy will combine cutting-edge learning technologies and a modern fleet of training aircraft to train cadets with no previous knowledge of flying. Cadets will be trained using simulators, single and multi-engine aircraft, and will be provided with theoretical knowledge of the aviation industry to facilitate their transition into the airline business. The investment in the facility underscores UAE's commitment to put in place modern infrastructure to help develop career-ready pilots for Emirates and the broader aviation industry.
