Philippine Academy for Aviation Training

The Philippine Academy for Aviation Training (PAAT) is a commercial flight training provider located in the Philippines. It serves as a specialised regional hub within the aerospace value chain, focusing on the delivery of pilot qualification and recurrent training services. The facility is designed to bridge the gap between basic flight schooling and active service in commercial airline cockpits by providing high-fidelity simulation environments. The organisation is a joint venture between the Philippine low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific and the European aerospace manufacturer Airbus. Its primary purpose is to support the training requirements for flight crews operating Airbus A320 and A330 family aircraft. The academy operates full-flight simulators (FFS) and provides integrated training solutions for both domestic and international airline operators within the Asia-Pacific region. Prospective partners or customers should verify the current certification status of the academy's simulators with their respective national aviation authorities. It is necessary to confirm the availability of specific training slots and the validity of the training curricula under the latest regional safety regulations. Buyers should also evaluate the academy’s throughput capacity relative to their specific fleet expansion or crew rotation schedules.
