Geneva, 2 July 2013. From October this year, skyguide will train aspiring
Swedish air traffic controllers in its training centre in Wangen bei Dübendorf.
The Initial Training starts on 7 October and lasts until the end of August
2014. Skyguide could win these future controllers through an existing
collaboration with Swedish ACR Aviation Capacity Resources AB for training in
Switzerland.
Cooperation with ACR Aviation Capacity Resources AB (ACR)
Since May 2011 skyguide cooperates through skyguide ANS solutions with the
Swedish Air Navigation Service Provider ACR Aviation Capacity Resources AB
(ACR), headquartered in Stockholm. ACR provides air traffic control at the
airports of Örebro, Västerås, Växjö/Småland and Trollhättan Vänersborg and is
active in the since 2010 liberalised Swedish market. In addition, ACR gained in
late April of this year, a consortium of the airports of Norrköping, Jönköping,
Kalmar, Karlstad and Skellefteå for its services.
Convincing overall package of skyguide services
Skyguide has a broad portfolio of services, among which the training is only one
element, which convinced ACR. For the training in Dübendorf speaks the skyguide
training centre with a state-of-the-art infrastructure, latest training methods,
an experienced team of instructors and various international customers.
The overall offer of skyguide ANS solutions has been decisive for the decision
in favour of skyguide says ACR CEO Wilhelm Wohlfahrt: "Skyguide can help us not
only in education but also with support in other areas with its expertise. In
addition, skyguide's training centre is one of the most modern in Europe."
Skyguide CEO Daniel Weder expressed his satisfaction with the successful
cooperation: "ACR's decision in favour of skyguide is a big vote of confidence
and confirms our efforts for education and training in Switzerland and our range
of ANS solutions."
