ATR has opened a new training center for pilots and maintenance technicians in Johannesburg. It is the turboprop’s manufacturer’s first training center on the African continent and is run in partnership with Comair. It is equipped with a Full-Flight Simulator, offering training possibilities for the ATR 42-300, ATR 42-500, ATR 72-200 and ATR 72-500 models.
ATR said it selected Johannesburg as the location for the first training center in Africa because “it is a major hub in the massive sub-Saharan African and Indian Ocean region and can be easily and quickly accessed by all operators. Comair's quality facilities and services also influenced the decision.”
ATR also has training centers in Toulouse, Paris, Bangkok and Toronto.
