SpiceJet signs pact with United Aviation to train pilots

New Delhi, Nov 20 (UNI) SpiceJet and United Aviation today announced the signing of an agreement to select and train pilots.

The low-cost airline has launched an initiative to identify young people driven by their desire to make a profession out of flying airline jets. It has already recruited more than two batches of cadet pilots from United Aviation under this scheme.

On the other hand, United Aviation has also entered into a strategic tie-up with Sabena Airline Training Centre (SATC) to train pilots for airlines in India.

SATC is a subsidiary of Sabena Flight Academy that recently visited India with the trade delegation accompanying the Belgian Prime Minister.

The agreement is valued at over two million dollars a year and the first batch of student pilots will start their training on December 11 at Arizona in the United States.
