Due to that the aviation business worldwide is expanding. At the same time, it also creates new challenges: companies purchase more airplanes, but feel a shortage of pilots. In addition, the qualification of existing pilots should meet new, much higher requirements, because the world in the XXI century has changed and encourages aviation to pay much more attention to flight safety,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Indra Sveistryte while describing the modern trends.<br \/>\nAt this time, aviation training experts examine new requirements for the training programs and educational institutions, and discuss the criteria for the training airplanes, pilot selection and assessment.<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Poland for example, estimates that over the next 10 years the country will need about 2000 new pilots, and in addition, there might be a shortage of other aviation specialists, because its aviation market is expanding. Similar trends are seen in other countries. As we expand our activities and accept new training groups of pilots who raise their qualification, we notice that both the Eastern and Western European airlines experience a shortage of pilots, while expanding their fleet and switching to the new types of aircraft. This encourages us to implement such training programs, which would meet the needs of the airlines,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the representative of Baltic Aviation Academy.<br \/>\nAccording to her, Baltic Aviation Academy has started a new training program this year \u00e2\u20ac\u201c initial pilot training. After completing this study program, the graduates will become professional pilots, and they will be awarded a license valid in all of the EU countries.<br \/>\nIn addition, the representative of Baltic Aviation Academy drew attention to the newly emerging requirements to the future pilots and pilots who change their qualification.<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Noticeably more attention is paid to the personal qualities of the pilots, not only to their age, physical condition and knowledge. In the XXI century, when aviation is in the center of attention, aircraft pilots must comply with certain personal requirements that affect a pilot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s job. More and more attention is drawn to the behavioral and human values, and the way of thinking, because that is what determines a pilot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behavior and affects decisions at the critical moments. In modern aviation simply knowing how to fly the aircraft is not enough, the most important thing is to operate the aircraft and work smoothly as a part of a team,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d states Indre Sveistryte.<br \/>\nAccording to her, Baltic Aviation Academy takes into account the essential changes of the aviation market and future requirements while creating the training programs.<br \/>\nOver 2,000 professionals per year benefit from the training offered by Baltic Aviation Academy, during which more than 10,000 hours of flight simulators are held. This year the number of pilots studying at Baltic Aviation Academy during the period of 9 months has increased 4 times as compared to this period last year.<br \/>\nBaltic Aviation Academy, UAB which is part of the Lithuanian aviation company group Avia Solutions Group, provides aircraft crew training and aircraft crew formation solutions to the aviation companies. Pilot qualification trainings for Boeing 737-CL, Boeing 737-NG, Boeing 757, Saab 340, ATR-42, ATR-72, Airbus 320, Embraer 135\/145 and CRJ 100\/200 airplanes are held at the pilot and flight steward training center in Vilnius. This year they have launched the initial pilot training program (FTO). Course completion certificates issued by Baltic Aviation Academy are valid in the European Union, Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine.<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<a href=\"http:\/\/www.balticaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Baltic Aviation Academy<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is owned by the group of companies \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Avia Solutions Group\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.
