History

The training centre has been operating since 20 September 1991, when the restoration of Lithuanian independence was followed by reestablishment of the national air company Lithuanian Airlines, which among other services provided pilot and cabin crew training services.

In the year 2005, upon privatisation of the state enterprise Lithuanian Airlines (100% of the air company’s shares were acquired by the investment consortium flyLAL Group AB) and change of the trademark into flyLAL, the training centre continued its activities as a unit of flyLAL – Lithuanian Airlines.

In 2007, flyLAL – Lithuanian Airlines AB ceased providing training centre services. Private Limited Liability Company flyLAL Training Center founded in the end of 2006 (later renamed into flyLAL Training) started independently developing its production capacities and scope of activities.

In the course of 17 years of operation, the training centre has trained over 10 thousand aviation specialists: pilots, cabin crew, technical and ground handling personnel.
