China Airlines

China Airlines was founded in 1959 and now boasts a fleet of 61 aircraft which fly to 44 cities in 21 countries. The extensive fleet includes 44 passenger jets and 17 freighters. Boeing and Airbus dominate the fleet which boasts 29 Boeing 747, 12 Boeing 737-800, 12 A300-600 and 7 A340 aircraft. The average age of the aircraft is only 6 years.

In 2002 RQAC was appointed by China Airlines to train its future airline pilots. We are justifiably proud of our appointment. This is a further testament to the international reputation of the training standards of our school.

The students on this program undergo a rigorous selection process by China Airlines before commencing their training at RQAC. The students have not undertaken any flying training before they commence our training program.

The students undertake an intensive training program and complete an Australian Commercial Pilot Licence, Multi-engine Command Instrument Rating together with a minimum of 45 hours of multi engine flight time before returning to Taiwan for further ground training and simulator training. At the conclusion of their training the students are assigned to full flight duties on aircraft in the China Airlines fleet.
