The Aviation Academy of Serbia is established by the Ministry of Education, Science & Technological Development of Serbia in which the State of Serbia is investing 65 million Euros for further advancement of infrastructure and facilities to meet the aviation growth especially from India. The Academy is one of the oldest schools in the world since year 1912 equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, using cutting-edge technology, and a world-class team of experienced instructors.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to announce the ‘JettWings Serbia – Cadet Pilot Program’, an exclusive flight training pact signed between JettWings Airways, VR Global Ltd and Aviation Academy of Serbia, having an over 100-year-old global legacy of training pilots & aviation personnel. We will proudly train JettWings Airways pilots,\u201d<\/strong> expressed HE Sini\u0161a Pavi\u0107, Serbian Ambassador to India. The Academy that will be co-branded as JettWings Serbia, shall offer a range of programs, including ATP (A) Integrated course which we have chosen for our cadets. Additionally, the institute will provide specialized training in areas such as instrument flying, multi-engine operations, and advanced aviation technologies.<\/p>\n Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sanjive Narain, Chairman of JettWings Airways said, \u201cWe understand the critical role of well-trained pilots in ensuring the highest standards of safety and professionalism. Through this Cadet Program we shall place paramount importance on safety, adhering to rigorous industry standards and best practices.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n India, the fastest growing aviation market and third largest market globally, is woefully facing an acute shortage of pilots, both experienced Captains and First Officers. A conservative estimate of 15-16 pilots per plane ordered by Indian airline companies means 17,000-18,000 pilots are required over the next decade. That is, 1,700-1,800 per year on an average with a requirement of approximately 1400 First Officers. JettWings Airways in its modest expansion plan expects to train and include approximately 800 pilots in the next five years alone, while also planning to train an additional 1200 pilots in its facility in Serbia, to cater to the national shortage.<\/p>\n \u201cOur flight training program is designed for the issue of the European license as well as to satisfy regulatory requirements by DGCA India which are incorporated in the ATP(A) program for the license conversion. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to encompass comprehensive theoretical knowledge, hands-on practical training which includes Advanced UPRT, MCC course on state-of-the-art Alsim FNPT-II device, CRM training with airline specific requirements all tailored to meet the exacting standards of the aviation industry.\u201d<\/strong> quoted Rajat Ahuja, Director of VR Global.<\/p>\n Students enrolled in the JettWings Airways cadet program will benefit from a holistic learning experience, evidence-based training, digital classroom instruction and flight training using Flight Logger. Moreover, they will have access to mentorship opportunities with seasoned pilots and exposure to JettWings Airways\u2019 operational environment. Our first batch of cadet pilots shall begin their training from 15th November 2023.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cms.businesswireindia.com\/images\/pixel.gif\"){kind=tracking}
