Global flight simulator operator Flight Experience has signed a partnership deal with Pan Am International Flight Academy.
Flight Experience offers fixed-base Boeing 737 simulator experience to the general public and commerical pilots seeking refresher training.
The deal with Pan Am will enable customers pursuing a career in aviation a comprehensive Pilot Training track from zero time to First Officer and a Type Rating—training locally at first at a Flight Experience facility, then moving on for extended training with Pan Am in the USA.
Iain Pero, Flight Experience’s Director of Sales said: “This partnership is exactly the sort of professional arrangement we were looking for. Our business has its roots in entertainment, but the market for pilot training is huge, and our devices offer a great bridge from general aviation to airline aviation.
"Over the last few years we have been moving into more professional areas, with our devices being used by airlines, schools and universities."
Flight Experience operates in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Singapore, Paris, Kuwait, Bangkok, Hong Kong,
and Jakarta.
Pan Am International Flight Academy is headquartered in Miami, Florida, operating nine training facilities in the US and abroad, providing flight simulation and training on all the leading aircraft types.
Flight Experience is planning free Pan Am training seminars in Australia later this year.
