An agreement announced at the Abu Dhabi Air Expo will see PrivatAir deliver training services to Jeddah-headquartered Saudia Private Aviation (SPA). In a move intended to achieve the excellence expected by SPA's elite customers, PrivatAir will train existing cabin crew and provide coaching in specific areas of on-board service.

The first group of SPA's 20 cabin crew are scheduled to begin their vvip service training with PrivatAir early this month in Jeddah.

SPA's company director general Khalid Abdullah Almolhem is clear in his goals: “It is our prime objective to continually improve our services so that we always remain ahead with our competitors and exceed our clients' expectations, to win their absolute loyalty. Following the tradition of Saudi Arabian Airlines, we are determined to build on our commitments by training our staff and crew to the apex of excellence.”

PrivatAir's training department Privat-Training is specialised in providing courses tailored to suit the exacting needs of private aviation passengers as well as the individual culture of the client organisation. Victor Grove, svp selection, training and customer service, is excited about this chance to extend the company's market reach: “Following on from the Royal Flight of Oman, we now have an opportunity to demonstrate our level of service in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

SPA was founded in 2009 as an independent unit of Saudi Arabian Airlines and delivers luxury flight services to top tier clientele of Saudi Arabian Airlines.

PrivatAir is an international business aviation group with headquarters in Geneva and operating bases in Frankfurt, Geneva and Brazzaville, Congo.
