The Boeing Company has a new name, "Alteon," for
its aviation training subsidiary, currently known as FlightSafety
Boeing Training International (FSB). Pat Gaines, president of FSB,
said Alteon is a dynamic name for the company, as it personifies
what the aviation training organization is all about.
"The name exemplifies the altitude we aim for as we soar to new
heights, and the endless opportunities as we move forward into the
new era of aviation training," Gaines said. "Alteon will continue
to provide total training solutions that are cost effective to
support airline operators world-wide."
Following a transition period, Alteon will become
the official name for FSB later in the year. FSB was originally a
joint venture formed between Boeing and FlightSafety International
(FSI) in 1997. In October 2002, the company became a wholly
owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, when Boeing acquired all of
FSI's interest in FlightSafetyBoeing. FSB became the world's first
truly global training company responsible for flight training and
maintenance in the 100-seat-and-above range of aircraft. Today, it
has over 800 employees in 21 locations worldwide, 72 full-flight
simulators, plus numerous fixed-base and maintenance training
simulators. The organization will continue to report to Commercial
Aviation Services, which offers the industry's broadest selection
of aviation support products and services. Commercial Aviation
Services is a unit of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
