Oman Air to set up international pilot training complex
Muscat: Oman Air will set up a pilot training school and simulator in Muscat this year, according to Oman Air CEO Ziad Bin Karim Al Haremi.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the launch of the airline’s re-branding at Shangri-La’s Burr al Jizza Resort and Spa, Al Haremi said: “With the Ministry of Defence and Eurocopter, we will set up a pilot training school by the end of this year,” he said.
He said the school will train 144 pilots and 37 single engine planes will be used in the training. “The school will be open to every nationality from anywhere in the world and higher secondary pass students will be enrolled.”
Al Haremi revealed that the training will be for civil pilots and they will receive Airline Transport Pilot Licences (ATPL). “It will be a frozen licence after 18 or 20 months depending on weather conditions. We will also send our trainees to this school but admission will be strictly on merit,” he said.
