Denver Facility Presented With Award For International
Excellence
The Denver location of the Pan Am International Flight Academy
was recently awarded the Export Achievement Certificate by the
Denver office of the U.S. Commercial Services Division, a branch of
the U.S. Department of Commerce. Pan Am joined the ranks of an
elite group of Export Achievement Certificate recipients. This
prestigious award is presented to Denver enterprises that
successfully enter the international marketplace.
"We don't give out many of these awards," stated Danielle
Blakely, Senior International Trade Specialist of U.S. Commercial
Service Denver. "The Export Achievement Certificate is reserved for
exceptional companies like Pan Am. In fact, we've only given out
one other certificate this year," whe said. "Their
international sales are impressive."
Pan Am International Flight Academy's Denver location has
trained the following foreign airlines this year:
Aerolineas Argentinas –training over 50 Boeing 747-400
Type Rating Pilot Crews, under a contract worth $2 Million dollars,
with students buying over 2,000 nights of hotel bookings in
Denver.
Philippine Airlines – Type Rating Airbus 320 Crews in
Denver under a long-term training contract including at least 4
crews per month at $25,000 per crew.
Transaero – Russia's largest Airlines. Pan Am
trained Transaero pilots in partnership with Boeing. Boeing would
have lost this international sale had Pan Am not been able to offer
a Colorado Boeing type rating solution.
Pan Am's Denver training center is the preferred training
location for Type Rating Boeing 757 crews from the Royal New
Zealand Air Force. This long-standing relationship has
generated hundreds of training events in Denver. The Kiwi
pilots love training in Denver for the summer festivities and the
world class skiing in the winter and spend up to two additional
weeks in Colorado for every training event.
The Sultan of Dubai operates his own exclusive private airline
and can train anywhere in the world, but chooses to train his crews
with Pan Am Denver. The Dubai Airwing has been training in
Denver for over 15 years and stays at the most exclusive high-end
Denver hotels.
Pan Am International Flight Academy's 2011 estimated sales
budget is $35 million dollars, of which approximately 20 million in
sales comes from outside the country. A sampling of offerings
include type ratings, flight attendant training, dispatcher, and
air traffic controller training programs.
Pan Am sales have so significantly impacted Denver's economy
that Congresswoman Diana DeGette personally presented the
certificate to Pan Am officials in collaboration with Paul Bergman,
Director of U.S. Commercial Services Denver.
