Jet2.com has opened a new multi-million-pound training centre in Cheadle, near Manchester Airport.
The new centre builds on the success of the first training centre near Bradford, which opened in 2014.
The new purpose-built centre represents £8.5 million of investment and has created a dozen full-time positions.
Jet2.com aims to train thousands of colleagues every year.
It will be a centre of excellence for new and current pilots, engineers, cabin crew and ground operations staff.
The three-storey facility will house full and fixed-base flight simulators, cabin crew trainer units, and fully equipped classrooms.
“This is another demonstration of our commitment to investing in our successful business,” said CEO Steve Heapy.
