AATA and MAB to Collaborate on Pilot Training in Malaysia

The MAB Academy, under the Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), and the Asia Aeronautical Training Academy (AATA), the approved flight training organisation of the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM), have signed a MOU to collaborate on training pilots in anticipation of the post-COVID19 rebound in the aviation industry.

As part of the collaboration, MAB will advise the flying academy on the relevance of their training curriculum to industry needs and provide feedback on any critical issues and challenges related to the training or any future industry requirements.

AATA will also facilitate MAB Academy as one of its recruitment centres, enabling students who graduate from AATA to have the opportunity of working within the Malaysia Aviation Group.

Through their partnership in youth development, the AATA-MAB Academy Youth Development Programme will provide the platform for tomorrow’s generation to learn new knowledge and skills related to aviation and create awareness for those interested and passionate about taking a career in aviation. Activities will include facility visits, professional talks, aviation awareness camps and aviation competitions.

“AATA will work hard to ensure that our students are marketable and employable,” said AATA Executive Director, Ts Dr Mohammad Fahmi Abdul Ghafir. “The key critical success factor is to have our stakeholders advising us on the training programmes that we offer. This will certainly reduce the mismatch between what we produce and what the airlines are expecting.”
