FlightSafety International, one of the world’s leading aviation training companies and promoted by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, has established operations in India through a consultancy and licensing agreement with Bangalore-based Aviators India.
The 60-year-old New Yorkheadquartered aviation company delivers over a million hours of flight training each year to pilots, technicians, cabin attendants, and aviation professionals, and is a supplier of flight simulators, visual systems and displays to commercial, government and military organizations around the world.
FlightSafety’s India play would start in the next four months and would begin with cabin attendant training for commercial and corporate flight operators.
“Put together (both commercial and corporate operators) there would be over 10,000 flight attendants in India. And given the number of aircraft orders airlines have placed, this vertical could well see a growth of 100% over the next five to seven years,” said Captain Arun Sharma, MD, Aviators India.
Aviators India has been in the business of aircraft charter services and sales of corporate jets to Indian high net worth individuals for close to two decades.
