Thread: Boeing shifting training facilities to MIA

Boeing is consolidating its North American flight and maintenance training operations in Miami. As a result of the consolidation, fight training capabilities in North America, which include 787 flight and maintenance training, will move out of the Seattle area to Miami.

Boeing intends to relocate all full-flight simulators and other devices from Seattle to Miami, starting with two 787 training suites. The consolidation comes on the heels of the company’s focus on customer commitments and its objective of meeting market demand for Boeing products, services and support.Also, the growing need for pilot training has compelled the company to go ahead with a strategic positioning of its global training network around the world. Boeing believes that the aviation industry will need 460,000 new pilots and 601,000 new maintenance technicians in the next 20 years.
