The International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Vietjet Air have signed a training agreement that appoints Vietjet Aviation Academy as the group’s latest regional training partner in Vietnam.

This means the institute can now offer IATA training courses. These courses are internationally recognised training programs and are updated regularly to keep up with the latest regulatory procedures, standards, and demands of the aviation industry.

The academy currently has three cockpit simulators (SIM) for pilot training, aircraft and passenger cabin mockups, engines, technical parts and functional training rooms, an olympic standard wave pool, a stadium, and an engineer training centre. It has provided training for nearly 395,000 trainee pilots, cabin crews, engineers and staff to date, Vietjet noted.
