JATS is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with Bahrain Air to continue conducting its fleet cadet training program at JATS' QAIA facilities. Under this program, JATS will provide A320 type ratings for Bahrain Air's 2nd officers. The first six Bahrain Air pilots enrolled will start their two-month training program on Sunday 15th January 2012. This is a positive development for JATS at the beginning of 2012 which also reflects Bahrain Air's confidence of the high standard and quality of training their cadets will be receiving at JATS. Bahrain Air's decision to use JATS as its primary training source reflects the airline's confidence in the high quality training that JATS provide.
"We are looking forward to a long and lasting aviation training relationship with Bahrain Air and to continue adding value to its pilots" said Amer Fakhoury, JATS' general manager.
Bahrain Air began its pilot training program at JATS at the end of 2007, and has since continued all its Airbus A320 training requirements for pilots, which included A320 simulator recurrent training, command upgrade courses for A320, type rating CCQ courses utilizing JATS ground school instructors, at JATS. During this period, Bahrain Air has also undertaken many of its basic and recurrent courses for their cabin crew at JATS' training facilities.
JATS's training facilities combine 6 Full-Flight Simulators; 2 A320's, A310, B767, B737NG and EMB 170/190, which provide complete training packages that offer a wide range of simulator and Computer Based Training (CBT) for cockpit crew, cabin crew and airline staff from the international airline community.
Bahrain Air plays a major role in linking Bahrain, the financial center of the Middle East, to major cities in the GCC, the Levant, Africa and the Indian Sub-Continent, with fast and economical point-to-point services, for both the business community and the traveling public.
