Australian Carrier Expands Pilot And Cabin Crew Training Capacity
The Qantas Group has opened a new Emergency Procedures Training Centre in Sydney, part of a $65 million investment in pilot and cabin crew training facilities. The center features replica aircraft cabins, escape slides, and virtual reality training areas, and will train over 10,000 Qantas, Jetstar, and QantasLink pilots and cabin crew each year. The investment supports the airline’s fleet and network expansion, with seven new flight simulators added, including Australia’s first A350 simulator. This expansion was first reported by AeroTime.
