We started our business with China in 2006 with one major Chinese carrier.
From 2009 on we established our first contacts with different other airlines and we started a cooperation with a Taiwanese based agency. Beside our main office in Vienna, we opened as well offices in China.
Business ideas
Due to the great cultural difference between Western thinking people to Eastern thinking one it is, especially at the beginning, very hard for a Western pilot to assimilate himself in China. We opened our agency to assist the pilots from the very beginning, from doing the decision for a move and as well for their whole time in China.
We can offer a good training-program for the initial ATPL exam and our success-rate on this Screening hurdle is rather high.
We can also assist on a pre-medical check in Europe to send only those pilots with a very good outlook to pass the CAAC Medical to China.
Additionally we can offer a Simulator-program in different Simulator training-center´s in Europe to train the pilot.
Pilot market
We are working mainly with European pilots; even we do have some rare contacts with pilots from US and Canada, even some from South America.
As GAC was able to get a good reputation in China we opened collaboration with other agencies as well, to assist our pilot candidate in the best possible way
Offices
Our main office is in Vienna, Austria and we can use the offices of our partner agencies here in Europe as well. For the better assistance of our pilots during the sometimes lengthy and inscrutable screening process we opened as well two offices in Beijing and Sanya and we can use as well the manpower from two Asian agencies situated in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Contacts
We do have not only very good contacts to our partner airlines we have as well good connections to several European aviation offices and we have them as well to ICAO and to CAAC.
