SEATTLE, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA)
announced today it is combining Alteon, a wholly owned subsidiary, and
existing training groups within Boeing Commercial Airplanes to form a new,
unified training organization. The new training organization retains the
Alteon name as a business unit within Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.
"The combined expertise of our Commercial Airplanes and Alteon teams
will better serve our customers' training needs by providing them with a
more comprehensive suite of aviation training and flight services," said
Lou Mancini, vice president and general manager of Commercial Aviation
Services. "This is yet another way that Boeing is helping to ensure our
airline customers operate more efficiently."
The new organization takes advantage of both Commercial Airplanes and
Alteon resources to provide customers with a single integrated business
that encompasses all development, deployment and delivery of aviation
training and flight services. It also supports both customers who need
courseware and instructor-led training as well as those who need only to
rent simulator time. In addition, for those customers who have invested in
their own simulators, Alteon can provide Boeing data and hardware to
operate the simulators as well as updates and upgrades.
"With the new organization, we will be able to present a single face to
the customer across our global network and a consistent level of excellence
in aviation services," said Sherry Carbary, president of Alteon. "This
consolidation reinforces our commitment to pursuing innovative solutions to
meet our customers' needs by providing a comprehensive portfolio of
capabilities in training and flight services delivered by our skilled and
impassioned work force."
The new organization includes 1,400 training professionals. Alteon
serves more than 400 customers around the world, delivering 330 training
programs accepted by more than 100 regulatory authorities. It has more than
100 full-flight simulators in 20 locations on six continents.
