At the 2025 Dubai Airshow, flydubai, the Dubai-based carrier, and Boeing announced agreements that will provide ab initio pilots, pilots undergoing initial type rating courses and maintenance personnel with comprehensive training programmes to support flydubai’s fleet operations.
The agreements for
Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) programmes are designed to
improve training outcomes through a focus on competency and data-informed
scenarios.
Boeing will also
provide consulting services to support the implementation of the training
programmes for flydubai.
Ahmad Bin Huzaim,
Senior Vice President of Flight Operations & Crew Training at flydubai,
said: “flydubai remains committed to integrating the most advanced
technologies and industry-leading services to ensure our training capabilities
consistently meet the highest global standards. Boeing’s Competency-Based
Training and Assessment (CBTA) programmes provide our expanding community of
pilots and engineers with a modern, performance-driven framework for continuous
professional and technical development. By emphasising demonstrated
competencies, the CBTA approach enables a more tailored and effective training
experience, further strengthening safety, operational efficiency and confidence
across all flight and maintenance operations.”
flydubai has built a
strong workforce of more than 6,700 employees across various functions,
including more than 640 skilled engineers and almost 1,400 pilots, and operates
a growing fleet of 96 Boeing 737 aircraft.
Earlier this year, the
carrier inaugurated its Flight Training facility on its Campus grounds before
launching the flydubai Ab Initio Pilot Training Programme, one of the airline’s
many initiatives that focuses on growing and investing in its skilled workforce.
“With these new agreements, flydubai is demonstrating proactive leadership to prioritise safety and quality by providing access to effective and extensive training programmes for its maintenance and flight operations crews,” said Chris Broom, Vice President, Training Solutions, Boeing Global Services. “We look forward to collaborating with flydubai to implement these comprehensive training services for their personnel.” -TradeArabia News Service
