Airline Jet2.com has opened a multi-million pound new training centre in Cheadle, near Manchester Airport. Bosses said the £8.5m centre would build on the success of the company's first training facility near Bradford, which opened in 2014.
A dozen new jobs have been created and the airline said the centre would 'underpin its growth ambitions by training thousands of colleagues every year'. The facility is a 'bespoke centre of excellence' for new and current pilots, engineers, cabin crew and ground operations staff.
Housed over three storeys, it features full and fixed-base flight simulators, cabin crew trainer units and engineering training devices to enact real-life scenarios, together with computer training rooms, classrooms and briefing rooms.
