L3 Commercial Training Solutions (L3 CTS) has
announced the introduction of its new European Academy into the company’s cadet
pilot training offering.
The L3 European Airline Academy facility,
based at Ponte de Sor Airport, Portugal, has the capacity to provide world-class
training for up to 500 cadets a year.
The new European Academy has been established
following L3’s acquisition of the G Air Training Centre in October 2017. This
location will be fully integrated with L3 CTS’s current Airline Academy
operations in the U.K., U.S. and New Zealand, and will further allow the company
to offer tailored international training solutions for aspiring pilots and L3
CTS’s airline customers.
More than 1,000 cadet pilots started training
with L3 CTS in 2017, and the new facility will allow the company to better
address the growing worldwide demand for pilots.
“The launch of the L3 European Airline Academy
in Portugal expands L3 CTS’s international footprint and increases our capacity
to support the growing global demand for highly skilled, qualified commercial
pilots,” said Robin Glover-Faure,
President of L3 CTS. “We are excited to expand the delivery of our international
training solutions to further support our airline customers and provide more
opportunities for aspiring pilots.”
