Emirates training academy partners with Boeing

Dubai: Emirates’ pilot training academy is to develop a training curriculum in collaboration with US plane maker Boeing.

Emirates said on Tuesday its academy will use an integrated software system that is based on the Peters Software system acquired by Boeing. The software will be used for managing cadet learning and training flight operations, a statement said. The academy is scheduled to open in October at Al Maktoum International, Dubai’s second airport.

Emirates separately said it would start Airbus A380 flights to Johannesburg in South Africa from February 2017.
