High-proficiency line-hours transition under senior airline check commanders
"Nowadays Airline business requires highly experienced pilots in order to secure employment. Line Training & Jr First Program & Junior First Officer Program gives the opportunity for low hour pilots to secure and gain experience on commercial jets, which reduces the training cost and increases the safety of the Airline."
Landing your first job as a pilot is not as easy as most people think. By the time you finish your flight training, you know that your current hours of flight training won’t simply impress big companies like airlines. Airlines will always hire the cream of the crop as much as possible – seasoned pilots with a higher number of hours that need less training. Despite that, it is not impossible to land a job at a big company and one of them is by obtaining a Line Training First Officer Program & Junior First Officer Program.
This program helps you increase the amount of hours flown, gain experience in the actual aircraft and get a better job. Throughout the years, Air Prime Asia has placed its students in Line Training & Jr First Officer Program who eventually landed airline jobs due to excellent, comprehensive, and complete training.
Structured international career pathways for aspiring Nepali airline pilots
Air Prime Asia Pvt. Ltd. is committed to building long-term strategic partnerships with Nepal's aviation industry and developing internationally recognized career pathways for aspiring airline pilots.
With over 20 years of aviation education and training experience, our organization is now expanding its presence in Nepal by establishing a dedicated representative office to support pilot training, career counseling, airline pathway programs, and strategic collaborations with aviation institutions across the country.
Air Prime Asia Pvt. Ltd. is developing strategic collaborations with leading aviation training organizations in China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka to facilitate internationally recognized Aircraft Type Rating programs, subject to applicable regulatory approvals, partner availability, training capacity, and individual candidate eligibility.
The program is designed to provide comprehensive airline-oriented training, including:
Depending on the candidate's qualifications, licensing status, aircraft type, airline requirements, regulatory approvals, and partner availability, eligible candidates may undertake Aircraft Type Rating training at approved aviation training organizations.
Following successful completion of the applicable Aircraft Type Rating, eligible candidates may be considered for structured Line Training and Junior First Officer Development Programs with partner airlines, including Aero Mongolia and, subject to operational availability and partner approvals, similar opportunities with airline partners in Vietnam.
Our objective is to provide multiple international airline pathway options that best meet the needs of aspiring pilots while creating greater flexibility and career opportunities.
In parallel, Air Prime Asia is progressing toward the establishment of its own charter airline operations, with a long-term vision of developing scheduled airline services. As part of this vision, the company intends to introduce its own Cadet Pilot Development Program, providing aspiring pilots with structured training pathways from Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) through Aircraft Type Rating, Line Training, and airline induction, including opportunities to build 500–1,000 hours of airline flying experience, subject to regulatory approvals and operational requirements.
Nearly two decades of trusted training partnership with Nepal's aviation community
Nepal has always been an important part of our aviation journey.
Our association with Nepal began nearly two decades ago through Griffin Aviation Academy Pvt. Ltd., where during 2007–2008 we successfully trained more than 150 Nepali pilots. Today, many of these pilots are serving with leading airlines in Nepal, reflecting the strong foundation and trust we have built within Nepal's aviation community.
This long-standing relationship has given us a deep understanding of Nepal's aviation industry, its regulatory environment, and the aspirations of young Nepali pilots.
Today, Air Prime Asia Pvt. Ltd. is proud to build upon this legacy by creating structured international career pathways that prepare the next generation of Nepali pilots for successful careers in global aviation.
Recognizing that a large number of Nepali Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) holders possess Frozen ATPL qualifications, Nepal represents an ideal market for international airline pathway programs. Through our collaborations with internationally recognized training organizations and airline partners, we aim to provide high-quality Aircraft Type Rating programs, structured Line Training, and Junior First Officer Development opportunities, subject to airline selection, regulatory approvals, operational requirements, partner availability, and individual performance.
Air Prime Asia firmly believes that talent, when supported by world-class training, international exposure, professional mentorship, and strong industry partnerships, can successfully compete on the global stage.
Together with our aviation partners in Nepal, we look forward to developing world-class airline professionals, strengthening international aviation collaboration, and contributing to Nepal's emergence as one of Asia's leading sources of highly skilled commercial airline pilots.
Our long-term vision is not only to support Nepal's aviation sector through international training pathways but also to build sustainable aviation partnerships that create employment opportunities, enhance professional standards, and help aspiring pilots achieve successful airline careers across Nepal, Asia, and the world.
