ASIA PACIFIC AIRLINE TRAINING SYMPOSIUM -- TRU Simulation + Training, a Textron Inc.

"Ansett Aviation Training is a well-known and trusted pilot-training brand in the Asia-Pacific region," explained George Karam TRU Simulation + Training vice president and general manager, Air Transport Simulation. "We are very pleased to have been selected to contribute our FFS and related support services to advance Ansett's growth and continuous improvement plans."
