Boeing consolidates aviation training organisations

Article Type: News and views From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 81, Issue 1

The Boeing Company announced recently that it is combining Alteon, a wholly owned subsidiary, and existing training groups within Boeing Commercial Aeroplanes to form a new, unified training organisation. The new training organisation retains the Alteon name as a business unit within Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.

“The combined expertise of our Commercial Aeroplanes and Alteon teams will better serve our customers’ training needs by providing them with a more comprehensive suite of aviation training and flight services,” said Lou Mancini, Vice President and General Manager of Commercial Aviation Services. “This is yet another way that Boeing is helping to ensure our airline customers operate more efficiently.”

The new organisation takes advantage of both Commercial Aeroplanes and Alteon resources to provide customers with a single integrated business that encompasses all development, deployment and delivery of aviation training and flight services. It also supports both customers who need courseware and instructor-led training as well as those who need only to rent simulator time. In addition, for those customers who have invested in their own simulators, Alteon can provide Boeing data and hardware to operate the simulators as well as updates and upgrades.

The new organisation includes 1,400 training professionals. Alteon serves more than 400 customers around the world, delivering 330 training programs accepted by more than 100 regulatory authorities. It has more than 100 full-flight simulators in 20 locations on six continents.
