opens a new pilot training center in Brisbane."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>Qantas<\/strong> has opened a new pilot training facility at Brisbane Airport, with the capacity to train up to 900 pilots a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located adjacent to Brisbane Airport, the Qantas Group Flight Training Centre is home to four state-of-the-art aircraft simulators \u2013 Boeing 737, 767F and 787 Dreamliner and Dash-8 Q400 \u2013 all used by pilots to complete their four annual sessions of simulator training and specialised training when moving to a new aircraft type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/12\/qantas-chooses-airbus-to-renew-fleet.html\">Qantas chooses Airbus to renew its narrow-body fleet.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the majority of Qantas\u2019 pilots based in the three eastern states, the Brisbane centre, along with expanded facilities in Melbourne and a new flight training centre to be developed in Sydney, will provide significant cost savings through training pilots at their home base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brisbane facility will provide reoccurring training for the airline\u2019s 500-plus Queensland-based pilots as well as pilots from other states and many of the new pilots who will join the Qantas Group in the years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility also has a commercial dimension to it and will be open to other airlines in the Asia Pacific region to train newly recruited pilots, upskill pilots to new aircraft types and allow experienced pilots to maintain their ongoing training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/12\/qantas-announces-direct-flights-australia-italy.html\">Qantas announces direct flights between Australia and Italy.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce, who was in Brisbane with Queensland Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick to formally open the centre, said it would improve the efficiency of the airline\u2019s flight training function and added to Qantas\u2019 sizeable footprint in Queensland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTraining is a critical part of our business and the new Brisbane Simulator Facility will play a key role in helping us to maintain the highest standards of pilot skill and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cQantas\u2019 very first flying school was set up in 1927 in a tin shed at Eagle Farm, so we\u2019ve clearly come a long way since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
