Etihad Airways is in the process of establishing Etihad Flight College, a world-class flight training facility in the United Arab Emirates for Emirati and international cadet pilots.
As a first step in establishing this college, Etihad Airways is acquiring the fixed wing training division from Horizon International Flight Academy (Horizon), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, subject to GCAA approvals.
Based in Al Ain, Etihad Flight College will provide fixed wing flight training for ab-initio cadets, for the Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). In October 2014 Etihad Flight College will also be introducing the Multi crew Pilot Licence (MPL) training program exclusively for Etihad Airways’ ab-initio cadets. Further details on this innovative program will be available on this website in due course.
