Deal Ensures Standardization Across All ANA Group Carriers
L3Harris Technologies, the American technology company, defense contractor, and information technology services provider, announced in February 2023 that it had been selected by All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd. (ANA)—to facilitate the air-carrier’s pilot-training needs.
The agreement builds on a decades-long pilot-training and flight-simulator relationship between L3Harris and ANA subsidiary, Peach Aviation. Subject relationship will now expand as L3Harris leverages its significant resources to provide pilot training for All Nippon Airways—Japan’s largest air-carrier—and the entirety of its group airlines.
L3Harris Airline Academy vice president and general manager David Coward stated: “This agreement shows the confidence ANA has in the quality of L3Harris’ training capabilities. The ANA Group already entrusts us to train its pilots for Peach Aviation, and now we will play an even more important role in preparing pilots for its flagship carrier.”
In March 2023, the initial group of All Nippon Airways students will ship off to attend L3Harris’ sixty-week, single-engine and multi-engine flight training and ground school in England before returning to Japan to complete work on their Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau licenses.
ANA Flight Operations Center Quality Planning vice president Takeshi Yamagishi set forth: “L3Harris has a history for producing highly skilled future pilots. By using its quality locations and training facilities, we can ensure we are well prepared for future growth.”
All Nippon Airways ranks in the top 15 airlines worldwide by annual revenue. L3Harris’ has supplied All Nippon Airways with flight training devices since the 1980s, with the first pilot-training agreements between the two companies signed in 2018.
