L3Harris Flight Academy Completes Training of First Batch of East-Asian Flag Carrier Pilots

Sanford, USA – L3Harris Flight Academy, one of the largest flight training organisations in the US and part of the L3Harris Commercial Aviation group, has marked a key milestone with the successful completion of flight training for the first group of cadets from All Nippon Airways (ANA).

• The group, guided by Captain Tomo and Captain Jae, completed their initial flight training phase at the Sanford campus of L3Harris Flight Academy.

• This training is part of a structured collaboration between L3Harris and ANA aimed at preparing cadets for airline operations through a tailored curriculum.

• With this phase concluded, the ANA cadets will return to Japan to commence their aircraft Type Rating training.

L3Harris Technologies announced in February 2023 its selection by Japan’s largest airline, All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd., to train its next generation of pilots. The agreement builds on a decades-long pilot training and simulator relationship between L3Harris and one of ANA’s subsidiaries, Peach Aviation. That training relationship then expanded as L3Harris provides pilot training for All Nippon Airways and its group airlines.
