For the first time aviation students in the Gulf will be able to complete their EASA ATPL pilot training and examination without leaving the region.

This is because Jetstream Aviation Training & Services based in Silicon Oasis Dubai is now a fully EASA-authorised examination center.

Captain John Diskos CEO and founder of Jetstream said: “This is an incredible breakthrough. Students attending aeroplane or helicopter ATPL pilot training in our training center in Dubai can now participate in the exams without the need to travel to Athens, or anywhere else in Europe, thereby avoiding the inconvenience, expense and stress of an intercontinental journey to sit the exams.

“This is especially important in the present climate, with the pandemic continuing to make flights and visas unpredictable.”Students converting their ICAO licence to EASA will also benefit, as ATPL and CPL exams can be taken at the center. In addition, the EASA Part-FCL examination can be conducted for fixed-wing and helicopter pilots at the fully equipped center, located equidistant between Dubai’s two international airports.

Jetstream is an established and accredited approved training organisation (ATO) a certified and type rating training organisation (FTO/TRTO) and an approved Part-147 maintenance training organisation, under EASA regulations, with crew training centres in Athens and `Dubai.

The training centre in Dubai has been approved since 2019 as an examination center for EASA Part-147 engineers examination to acquire the Part-66 licence.

JETSTREAM Aviation Training & Services has joined with Dynamic Advanced Training (DAT), at Dubai South, to provide comprehensive EASA-approved training for cabin crew.

Captain John Ntiskos, CEO Jetstream, and Mark Kammer, managing partner, Dynamic, signed the final agreement on the eve of the Dubai Airshow.

The EASA cabin crew initial training will use the full facilities of DAT for hyper-realistic hands-on training, including the temperature-controlled jungle survival and polar survival rooms, pool with wave and storm effects, and aircraft simulators, to lead to an EASA attestation.

John Ntiskos, CEO Jetstream said: “Dynamic has superb facilities and we have the EASA approved instructors, so it is an excellent partnership. With a choice of full motion aircraft simulators, including A330, Boeing 777, Boeing 737, and a private jet, we are able to train crew for both airline and VIP work. The initial cabin crew course takes 15 days, with type training and refresher training taking just a couple of days.”

The agreement will also cover pilots’ initial training in safety and emergency procedures (SEP).

Jetstream Aviation Academy ATO expands its global presence by providing pilot training on the ATR 42/72 600 using flight simulators in Bangkok. From the beginning of this year the type rating training, provided under the DGCA regulations, has been conducted using Jetstream approvals and with selected instructors who are, both highly experienced and airline captains current on type. The 15 days theoretical training takes place in one of our partner centers, either in India or in Bangkok, followed by 15 days simulator training in Bangkok.

CEO Captain John Diskos commented: “As the modern ATR 600 aircraft are delivered to India’s airline operators, the demand for pilot training is high. The decision to use flight simulators in Bangkok for the ATR 600 was due to the high quality of the simulators and the convenience of the short distance from India. We train our pilots to the highest level, taking great pride in associating with the best quality simulator centers around. We are able to comprehensively provide the training needs of all ATR operators in India and overseas. Jetstream ATO will be providing client-customised training as well as the training and checks required by regulation. This arrangement provides the opportunity for operators to outsource to Jetstream the often costly check and training functions. Being able to conduct the type training and checks for our pilots next to Bangkok airport allows us to significantly reduce the expenditure and time that would otherwise be incurred for crews engaged in training”.
