Emirates group chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum said the flight academy marked the continued emergence of the Gulf region as a major flight centre and would help fill the growing need for pilots among the region’s carriers.
The academy will include classrooms, accommodation, ground based simulators and flight training.
