A Milestone Step—BAA Training Vietnam Receives EASA Approval

Securing EASA approval is a significant milestone for any Approved Training Organization (ATO), and particularly so for one based in Vietnam. As one of the most respected aviation regulators globally, EASA applies rigorous technical and operational standards to all FSTD evaluations. Meeting these standards demands precision across areas such as flight model performance, motion systems, and visual fidelity. Obtaining this certification not only affirms the technical level of our Vietnam training center but also demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering aviation training at a level recognized and trusted across Europe and beyond.

“This certification marks an important step forward—not just for our local operations, but for the entire BAA Training network,” says Vytautas Jankauskas, Managing Director at BAA Training Vietnam. “It shows that we are not simply maintaining EASA-level quality; we are trusted to uphold it independently. This recognition confirms that our growth in Vietnam is grounded in a commitment to meet and maintain the highest training standards in the industry.”

“The EASA approval for us as an FSTD operator in Vietnam is a strong reflection of how we approach international expansion,” adds Marijus Ravoitis, BAA Training’s CEO. “It’s a strong validation that our international operations meet the same high standards we’ve built our reputation on in Europe. As we continue to grow, quality remains our foundation, and this approval proves we’re scaling with both intention and integrity.” This milestone also signals a broader shift in the region’s aviation training landscape. EASA-approved FSTDs remain relatively rare in Southeast Asia, and this certification positions the Vietnam-based ATO among a select group of providers operating at this level. It enhances trust among global airline partners and broadens opportunities for cadets seeking qualifications recognized across EASA member states.
