Alteon Training has received CASA Level "D" certification on its Boeing 737-800 full-flight simulator at its Brisbane Training Centre in Queensland, Australia. This is the company's first full-flight simulator "Down-Under" in Australia.

The Brisbane Training Centre is one of several facilities strategically located near customers throughout the ever-growing Asia-Pacific region. It is the company's fourth in the Asia-Pacific region, joining the existing Alteon training centres in Kunming, P.R.C.; Seoul, Korea; and its affiliate centre in Singapore. In addition, Alteon operates numerous training centres in Europe, Africa and the Americas.

"We are pleased to add the Brisbane centre to the Alteon network of training centres in the region. In line with our company mission of providing high quality training closer to the customer's operations, we are now in position to fully support our partner Virgin Blue and other customers in the region," said Bill Gardner, Regional Vice President for Asia-Pacific.

Alteon has a total of thirteen Boeing 737-700/-800 full flight simulators in its worldwide simulator fleet. A second such simulator is being installed in the Brisbane centre and is expected to be ready for training shortly.

Alteon is offering flight-training courses in Brisbane for the 737-700/800. These include a full endorsement course, a shortened endorsement course, and a differences course from the Boeing 737-300/400/500.
