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.

The company was established in 1985 and is ISO 9001:2000 certified in both Malaysia and Singapore, and is a quality third party service provider.

This company takes ownership of after market service needs as well as presales rework, irrespective of brand or manufacturer. These services are indispensable in the supply chain, which supports a product’s life cycle and contributes significantly to achieving total customer satisfaction. The group operates four service depots in Singapore, Malaysia, & Hong Kong, and maintains strong strategic alliance with Service Providers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Group sees an increasing need for expanding its resources to cater for the increasing business, and is looking for suitable candidates to fill this position in Warehousing/Logistics Executive in one of the centres in Singapore.
