UK-based global software firm Ideagen has secured a project with a Saudi Arabian flying academy which will see it provide software to help it meet regulatory and operational requirements.
OxfordSaudia, owned by the Saudi National Company of Aviation (SNCA), will implement Ideagen’s Coruson system for quality management with additional functionality and capability for safety and risk.
The flying academy is the kingdom’s first ever, and is an authorized training partner of the CAE, a global leader in training for the civil aviation, defense and security, and healthcare markets.
OxfordSaudia was launched in 2017 following a joint announcement by the CAE and SNCA at that year’s Dubai Air Show event. It has ordered 60 aircraft, will staff around 200 instructors, and is aiming to attract between 1,000 and 2,000 students with 400 graduates a year.
OxfordSaudia, based at King Fahad International Airport, has also been tasked with bringing through more than 2,000 pilots – as part of the Kingdom’s ‘Vision 2030’ Saudization program.
