SpiceJet, India's fastest growing low cost airline, and United Aviation, an airline pilot training academy, announced the signing of an agreement to select and train pilots under SPICEJET CADET PILOT programme.
The SpiceJet Cadet Pilot (SCP) programmeis an initiative to identify young people driven by their desire to make a profession out of flying airline jets. SpiceJet has launched the programme this November and has already recruited more than two batches of cadet pilots from United Aviation under this scheme.
On the other hand, United Aviation has also entered into a strategic tie-up with Sabena Airline Training Centre (SATC) to train pilots for airlines in India. SATC is a subsidiary of Sabena Flight Academy that recently visited India with the trade delegation accompanying the Belgian Prime Minister. The agreement is valued at over $2 million a year and the first batch of student pilots will be commencing their training on December 11, 2006 at Arizona, USA.
