Air pilot training school Alpha Aviation Group Philippines said it plans to expand operations in the Philippines to exploit the burgeoning demand in the low-cost carrier market, reports Manila’s Philippine Star.

Currently eighty per cent of its graduates fly with Airphil Express, Cebu Pacific, Zest Air and SEAir. International clients also include Air Arabia and Jet Airways, said the report but this expansion could see the school supply pilots to fly for other regional airlines. Like it has done in the maritime sector, qualified pilots from the Philippines could help drive down salaries of pilots for carriers like Tiger, Jetstar and the new low-cost offering from Qantas.

“We have invested in the state-of-the-art Airbus A320 Level D full flight simulator,” said Kunal Sharma, chief operating officer of the flight school at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga.

“This is a multimillion-dollar investment that demonstrates our commitment to the Philippines, Philippine aviation, and training Filipinos for high-paying, professionally fulfilling jobs,” Mr Sharma said.

The company, which operates an Airbus A320 simulator at its four-bay simulator facility, is banking on the projected growth of the local commercial aviation industry. The new flight simulator will provide the company with the capability to deliver 6,000 hours of training annually – enough to train 300 new pilots.

Alpha Aviation Group commenced operation in 2006, and claims to be the world’s largest provider of Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) pilots. The sector is currently driven by stiff competition among an expanding field of budget airlines, and an equally bullish regional market.

“Graduates of Alpha Aviation Group have established successful careers in the aviation industry. The training we provide is based on international standards, which prepares cadets to work anywhere in the globe,” said Capt Andrew McKenchnie, chief training officer.

A recognised regional South East Asian Infocomm Industry Outsource Provider for volume rework, contract personnel supply, turnkey service solutions, call center management, and repair and refurbishment for IT data communications and AIDC products is looking for a Warehousing/Logistics Executive, to work in one of the centers in Singapore.
