Mumbai, Oct. 17
Jet Airways has gone the cost effective way to train its pilots through two new in-house flight simulators. According to the CEO of Jet Airways, Mr Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, the company would be saving $10 million annually on pilot training, which the company was incurring by sending them abroad.
This takes the total number of simulators with Jet to four with a total investment being $60 million ($15 million each).
“We have a total of 850 pilots and sending them abroad for training on simulators was costing us $1,000 per hour, around $500 per hour on training and then on their boarding and lodging,” said Mr Schauer.
Jet got its first two Boeing 737 simulators in the year 2000 and 2005 respectively, the new ones are for Boeing 777 and Airbus 330-340, which the company received last month.
