Spanish simulator manufacturer Simloc and Bahrain’s Gulf Aviation Academy (GAA) are to collaborate to offer greater and better comprehensive air training solutions.
Gulf Aviation Academy, a leading aviation training centre in the Middle East and North Africa, is located close to Bahrain International Airport, and provides pilots, cabin crew, engineers and air traffic controllers certified training 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
Simloc designs, produces and distributes certifiable flight training devices. At the same time, it also markets simulators of the passenger cabin, doors, windows and fire and emergency equipment for cabin crew training, manufactured by its subsidiary, Flight Level.
This alliance aims to make Simloc training devices accessible to GAA clients both in Bahrain and in its countries of influence. The academy will become the exclusive local and regional business partner to sell and install its wide range of simulators.
Carlos Pérez, CEO of Simloc, said, “It is an honour and a great challenge for Simloc to have reached this collaboration agreement with an academy as prestigious as GAA.”
Captain Dhaffer Al Abbasi, CEO of GAA, added, “I am pleased to announce this collaboration agreement between GAA and Simloc which comes following discussions for more than a year, and which has resulted in an agreement that mutually benefits both companies and is fully supported by their respective managements.”
