HAITE Aviation Training (hereafter referred to as ‘HAITE’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sichuan Haite High-Tech of Chengdu, China (HAITE Group), and Malaysian Airlines Berhad (MAB) Academy, a subsidiary of the Malaysian Aviation Group (MAG), have come together to collaborate on the provision of joint commercial flight crew training services in Malaysia.
A holistic aviation education institution that provides all aspects of airlines operations and management training, MAB Academy is endorsed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), and is a strategic regional training partner with the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Ben Lam, Managing Director of HAITE said, “As an independent aviation training centre, HAITE Aviation Training has been playing a key role in developing and implementing skill development programs for aviation pilots and cabin crew across Asia Pacific. This MOU opens the pathway for closer collaborations between HAITE and MAB Academy to provide regional airlines with a one-stop, sustainable, and effective training solution.”
The two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 29 August 2018 at the HAITE Singapore Aviation Training Center located in Changi Business Park. HAITE and MAB Academy will work together to develop and implement turnkey pilot training solutions to various airlines in the Asia Pacific. The companies will also explore the setting up of a joint venture to provide high-fidelity simulator training for commercial pilots. In addition, both parties will work towards conducting a Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) program, and jointly explore the provision of cabin crew training equipment to MAB Academy’s new facilities.
“We welcome this collaboration with HAITE,” shared Captain Kamaruddin Kamilin, MAB Academy CEO. “Together, HAITE and MAB Academy will deliver world-class pilot and cabin crew training to Malaysian Airlines and other regional airlines, supporting the fast-growing training needs of cockpit crew in Asia. We look forward to shaping the future of aviation training in partnership with HAITE.”
