BRIEF HISTORY
BRIEF HISTORY
BRIEF HISTORY
The prestige and esteem that the Training Center enjoys has been a result of tireless efforts expended, since the very inception of PIA in 1956, in making the programs of study worthy of its name. Training has been offered for PIA employees as well as for other airlines’ staff intending to work, or already working as members of the cockpit and flight service crew, as passenger service and marketing staff, and as mechanics and engineers, etc. It was in 1960 that all training was amalgamated under one roof at the Hotel Midway House, Karachi. The Center was moved to its present premises in October 1975.
For many years the PIA Training Center has also been instrumental in rendering training to a large number of pilots, engineers, flight stewards/stewardesses, traffic and sales personnel from over 30 airlines and associated agencies worldwide, mostly from Asian and African countries.
