The move comes as the academy hosted British Ambassador to Cairo Mark Bryson Richardson for talks on strengthening collaboration in aviation training and simulation technologies.
Discussions focused on joint work in advanced flight simulators and specialised training programmes, as Egypt and the UK seek to deepen ties in the civil aviation sector.
EgyptAir Holding Company chairman Ahmed Adel said the academy is working to expand partnerships with global companies to keep pace with rapid technological changes in aviation training.
He said cooperation with Acron Aviation would support efforts to modernise training systems and strengthen the academy’s position as a regional hub serving more than 100 airlines.
During the visit, Richardson toured the academy’s facilities, including full-flight simulators for Airbus and Boeing aircraft, as well as cabin crew training systems such as emergency evacuation (CEET) and in-flight service simulators (CST).
Academy head Walid Soliman said the partnership forms part of plans to upgrade the simulator fleet, including models such as the Boeing 737-800 MAX and Airbus A320neo.
Richardson said the academy’s infrastructure and training capabilities reflect its role as a leading aviation training centre, and pointed to the importance of expanding cooperation in the sector.
The EgyptAir Training Academy holds international accreditations from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the International Civil Aviation Organization, and provides training for aviation, technical, and administrative personnel.
