Since its establishment in 2013, Winbright Aviation has been committed to build a bridge for the aviation industry between Australia and China as well as other countries in the Asia-Pacific region to realize resource sharing. So far, through this bridge, over 100 students without flight experiences have become pilots of civil aviation routes in China, active in the civil aviation forefront.
This project is the only CAAC-certified airline pilot training program in Australia. It is aimed at Chinese high school graduates and undergraduate students under 26 years of age from overseas Chinese university students. After attaining the academic qualifications, and pass the civil aviation physical examination, psychological test, interview and theoretical examination，a training agreement can be signed with the shipping department and a full flight training at the aviation school. After that, they will be able to sign a labor contract with the shipping division and become an airline pilot.
As the only SKYTRAX five-star airline in mainland China, Hainan Airlines has been operating safely for 25 years since its establishment in 1993 and has won the title of SKYTRAX "World Five-star Airlines" for eight consecutive years. Hainan Airlines has a fleet of 737, 787 and Airbus 330 young luxury aircraft, route network throughout China, covering Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, opened nearly 1800 routes at China and abroad, more than 220 shipping cities. As the earliest airline with independent pilot training capability, Hainan Airlines has established a complete flight training system, but also with major well-known institutions at China and abroad to establish a deep cooperative relationship and work together to continuously train new forces for the Chinese aviation industry.
Hainan Airlines, as one of the four major airlines in China, adhering to the principle of "harmony is the reason for groups to flourish", will provide pilots with a very strong employment platform and a good employment environment.
