Airbus Helicopters Training Academy in Chile

Supporting Chile and the Southern Cone
Located in Santiago, the Airbus Helicopters Training Academy in Chile has trained more than 1,000 pilots and technicians to operate and support company-built rotorcraft in Southern Cone markets. One of its most interesting features is its location within the city, at the Tobalaba Aerodrome in the municipality of La Reina, which makes it easily accessible.
