The demand for certified training for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians and cabin crew is on the rise due to high employment rates and attractive job prospects after graduation.
Brok-air and Canavia collaborate to offer comprehensive aviation education, with Canavia training around 120 pilots annually. Canavia's CEO, Mario Pons, highlights a 100% employment rate for the 50 graduates from the previous year, emphasising the global job opportunities thanks to international certification. Flight training takes place at Maspalomas aerodrome, offering a unique advantage with 5,900 training flights and 8,800 flight hours in 2023.
The partnership's strengths include a hangar at Granadilla with a real Airbus 320 fuselage, the only certified evacuation ramp in the Canary Islands and a unique flight simulator. The facility caters for both on-campus students and recurrent training for airline crews. The importance of aviation professionals is highlighted by a CAE study that predicts a great need for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians and cabin crew in the next decade.
