The new centre is expected to begin pilot and cabin crew training by the end of 2023 and will be the most advanced flight training hub in South-East Europe powered by green energy.

The joint venture will initially operate four full-flight simulators, including two Airbus A320neo, one Boeing 737NG and one ATR 72-600, as well as cabin crew training equipment and will have space for three additional full-flight simulators. At full capacity, the centre will be able to train up to 3,500 pilots (42,000 pilot training hours) and many more cabin crew annually.

The new Flight Training Centre expands CAE's global training network and is integral to the creation of AEGEAN's aviation ecosystem in Greece. This is part of AEGEAN's €140 million investment to bolster the local aviation industry and position the airline and Greece as an aviation hub in Southeastern Europe.
