Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ansett Aviation Training (AAT), which will strengthen ties between them by supporting each other’s customer bases and fostering collaboration.

AAT recently opened a training facility in the Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub at Dubai South, a five-minute drive from Dubai World Central Airport, offering training to pilots and flight crew across the Middle East, Africa, India and beyond from its EASA certified ATR 72-600 full flight simulator. AAT is expected to add Airbus A320 training capabilities to this facility.

Commenting on the MoU, Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, said, “We are excited to announce this co-operation with AAT, which will provide DAE’s airline customers with pilot training infrastructure for ATR 72-600 and Airbus A320 aircraft types at AAT’s new training center in Dubai. DAE’s global network of customers and AAT’s international network of training centers will provide both companies an opportunity to enhance their product offerings to current and future customers.”
