Alpha Aviation Group (AAG)

Alpha Aviation Group (AAG) is a leading provider of aviation training solutions, working with airlines across the globe, and offering a wide range of services. It specializes in cadet assessment and selection, type ratings and flagship ab-initio cadet programs. All these are tailored and optimized to the operational needs of its partner airlines. The domestic and South East Asian markets are served from AAG's base in the Philippines where they operate an Approved Training Organization (ATO) and a certified Type Rating Training Organization (TRTO) for the Airbus A320. It also has the only EASA-certified Level D Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator in its Philippine platform. The Middle East Region is served by Alpha Aviation Academy UAE, a joint venture with Air Arabia in Sharjah UAE, the biggest MPL provider in the Region. Alpha Aviation Group is a pioneering institution in pushing for the Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) in the Philippines and UAE, the latter being the largest provider of First Officers via the MPL route. AAG has a proven track record of entering new markets and developing local relationships with regulators and airlines – often having to cross-certify between countries. In June 2017, AAG formed a strong partnership with Philippine Airlines which involves leasing the company's first ever CAE A330/340 Full Flight Simulator in the Philippines.
