GOLD SPONSOR:

Qantas Group Flight Training (QGFT) is the pilot and cabin crew training company of the Qantas Group. Our corporate mantra is ensuring that each and every crewmember that boards a Qantas Group aircraft is well trained and capable of dealing with any operational situation.

Our training originates directly from Qantas Group operational requirements, and the courses are conducted by experienced training captains and highly qualified instructors who remain operationally active.

At QGFT, our point of difference from other training providers is our operational expertise and passion for excellence in the training services we provide – we fly the aeroplanes we train on. Our approach and philosophy fosters a learning environment that enables quality training in dedicated facilities. The commitment, knowledge, operational expertise, energy and enthusiasm of our trainers continues to ensure our crew, and your crew, succeed in every element of flight training and line operation.

With a primary focus on operational expertise, continuous improvement, and standardisation of operational procedures, the end result is enhanced safety for the Qantas Group and our airline-training partners.  We are proud to be the Gold sponsor for APATS 2008, and we look forward to flying with you into the future.
