The Air Charter Association (ACA) is expanding its training program with the launch of an Air Charter Essentials course. The industry group announced the initiative this week, along with the appointment of Claudia Schimansky as training manager to run the course, which is available to both members and non-members.
The Air Charter Essentials curriculum is intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to the industry. It is aimed at people starting careers in air charter.
Schimansky will work alongside Julie Ellis, who has been promoted to head of training at ACA. Having started her career as a member of cabin crew with European Aviation Air Charter, Schimansky has worked in the industry across three decades, mainly with charter brokering group Air Partner in the UK, Germany, Italy, France, and the UAE.
This year, ACA will hold three Air Charter Essentials courses, offering discounted rates for people under age 25. These will be offered on March 4 in London, April 21 at Aero Friedrichshafen in Germany, and on October 14 in London.
“I am pleased to be joining the well-respected team at ACA,” Schimansky commented. “Supporting both new and experienced aviation professionals has been a long-standing passion throughout my career, and I am excited to bring that commitment to this new role.”
