RP becoming Asia’s flight-training
capital, says aviation-school exec
CLARK, Pampanga—Foreign and local flight students are coming in droves while flight-training schools are sprouting everywhere just like nursing schools.
If the trend continues, the Philippines could become Asia’s flight-training capital in the next few years, an aviation-school operator said Sunday.
Capt. Ben Hur Gomez, president of Omni Aviation Corp., considered as the country’s premier aviation school, said foreign flight students are steadily streaming in even as the number of registered flight-training schools across the country have increased, Air Transportation Office records show.
“Right now, there are about 400 Indian flight students enrolled at different flight schools in the country today,” Gomez, a former Boeing 747 pilot, said.
“Many more of them are coming along with other nationalities from Asia and Europe, but our local aviation schools cannot accommodate all of them just yet,” he said.
“This only shows that our country is the preferred aviation-learning haven for many nationalities and we should grab the opportunity and maintain the educational quality as this can provide thousands of jobs for our countrymen,” added Gomez. “Our government should give its full support by protecting the interests of flying schools.”
A certain aviation firm in India alone is reportedly asking Omni Aviation to gradually accommodate a hundred flight students per year, but Gomez said his office had to beg off to just half the number so as to give room to other aspiring local pilots.
Aside from Air Taxi Tours to Mt. Pinatubo, Omni offers the most complete regimen in aviation courses, namely, Private Pilot Ground/Flight Course, Commercial Pilot Ground/Flight Course, Instrument Flying Ground/Flight Course and Flight Instructor’s Course.
Omni has recently acquired a twin-engine trainer plane and is offering a multiengine course. Omni is opening a flight-training branch in Lingayen, Pangasinan, shortly Gomez said.
The National Capital Region hosts the biggest number of flight schools at 17, which raises the number of flying schools in the aviation industry to 28, the ATO said.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, bases of three fast-growing airlines, namely, Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways, are fueling this growth. The said countries are also believed to be the primary destination of Filipino aviation contract workers, Gomez said.
There are currently 700 commercial pilots in the country, 450 of whom are with the country’s flag carrier, PAL. Some 75 PAL pilots have left for foreign employment since 2003.
Based on the paper entitled “The Air Transport Industry,” China alone will need some 10,000 pilots in the next 20 years and India will need 4,000 in the next five years.
