The Aviation School of New Zealand will take on training pilots, providing the teaching staff and certificating. Viet Nam's Aerospace Engineering Services Joint Stock Company (AESC) is responsible for aircraft maintenance as well as training aviation technicians.
This project aims to provide flight and ground training for basic private pilot license to more than 300 students per year by 2020 in Vietnam. Qualified candidates will then go to New Zealand for commercial pilot training (civilian).
Vietnam hasn’t any civil aviation training activities in the country except for Bay Viet centre in Ho Chi Minh city. Vietnam also lacks teaching staff as well as qualified specialists. All students have to go abroad for expensive flight training of unequal coaching quality.
CEO of AESC Tran Hai Dang said the company would take charge of marketing and enrolment activities. "Our target market is not only Viet Nam, but also students from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar," he said.
According to Vietnam Airlines, the cost of training a pilot with the basic level reaches 1.9 billion VND in 24 months.
