Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and FlightSafety Boeing Training International (FSBTI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to form an aviation training joint venture in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, serving Asian airlines.
The MoU includes a long-term agreement making the new venture the exclusive training provider to MAS.
The venture - the Asian Regional Aviation Training Centre - will meet "the complete training requirement for pilots and aircraft engineers for Malaysia Airlines as well as FlightSafety Boeing's Asian customers", says MAS executive vice-president Bashir Ahmad.
The training centre will start operating in the fourth quarter of this year.
