Pan Am International Flight Academy, which was recently acquired by Japan’s ANA, has agreed to set up a pilot training facility in Thailand.
A deal penned with Bangkok’s Assumption University will see the launch of the Thailand Opening Simulator Training Center at Assumption’s Suvarnabhumi Campus, close to Bangkok’s main international airport.
“Pan Am is excited to work with the leading University in Thailand on this visionary project,” the company said in a statement. “The university’s commitment to develop a centre for aviation education in Thailand to serve the youth and airlines of the region corresponds with Pan Am’s vision for Thailand and Asia.”
In addition to Assumption University’s existing Airbus 320 simulator, Pan Am intends to move three additional full flight simulators to the Suvarnabhumi campus by the second quarter of 2014. Pan Am will then work with the university on a range of programmes, including pilot, cabin crew, maintenance and air traffic control training.
Pan Am International Flight Academy was originally the training division of Pan American World Airways – a major US carrier until its demise in 1991. Last month it was acquired by ANA Holdings, which pledged to expand its training facilities to countries across Asia.
