BizAv Services Ltd, the aviation management consultancy, has partnered business aviation leader PrivatAir SA of Geneva to jointly develop a regional centre for flight and cabin crew airline training in Malta.

An Approved Training Organisation approval was issued to BizAv Services Ltd by Transport Malta’s Civil Aviation Directorate following the successful completion of a stringent approval process conducted by the Flight Operations Inspectorate.

The ATO status for BizAv Training Services provides for initial and recurrent airline flight and cabin crew ground training.

“This is an exciting concept we are developing in the southern Mediterranean and North Africa,” PrivatAir senior vice-president Victor Grove said. “We believe that in commencing our joint venture with BizAv we can grow the training business and offer customers a wide range of services that will enable us to develop a unique brand of Swiss efficiency and Maltese hospitality.”

BizAv director Adrian Spiteri added PrivatAir’s reputation for excellence in VIP flight services complimented by local experience and expertise in aviation offers the positive synergy that will result in a reputable training organisation which will serve to further consolidate Malta’s aviation industry credentials in the region.

BizAv Services Ltd and PrivatAir SA will be introducing their joint regional training service at the 11th Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Geneva this week.
