MUMBAI, Apr 26: GMR Aviation Academy and
Ireland-based Cabin Crew Europe have joined hands to provide
EASA-approved cabin crew initial training courses in the
country.
As part of the tie-up, in which the graduates in the
domestic market will obtain European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA)- attestation for the first time, these courses will be
initially conducted at two locations, which have already been
identified, and later the facilities will be expanded to other
locations as well, a release said Friday.
EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) is the European
aviation safety regulator for certifications, regulation and
standardisation besides monitoring and performing
investigation.
“GMR Aviation Academy is committed towards creating a
continual training pipeline and the signing of this agreement
with Cabin Crew Europe, Nobox is yet another landmark moment.
With joint efforts and synergy, we will be able to create
immediate employability access to European and the Middle
Eastern markets as well as other regions,” said P S Nair,
chief executive of GMR Airports.
Set up at Nobox last year by three Irish aviation
companies– Crewlink, Dalmac Recruitment & Aviation Services
and Workforce International Contractor the Cabin Crew Europe
along with GMR have designed a training program by
incorporating regulatory requirements accompanied with soft
skills training vital for the high-powered international
aviation market, the release said.
“We could not have found a better partner than GMR
Aviation Academy, better students and a better relationship to
grow and flourish. The tie-up will help India alleviate
specific difficulties and obstacles facing airlines in their
recruitment and training of cabin crew,” said Ryan Moffett,
Director of Nobox and cabin Crew Europe (CCE).
By pooling Nobox and GMR’s knowledge and experience
together in one team, CCE aims to help students achieve their
dream of becoming cabin crew, it said.
“Our cabin crew initial training course is designed in
a very appealing and unique way. While carefully creating our
course, we have ensured that all topics like aviation
regulation, communication, human factors and CRM, passenger
handling, dangerous goods, and fire and smoke and survival,
among others, are covered in an interactive and professional
way,” said Eva Roharikova, Head of Training Cabin Crew Europe.
