Shonu Bamrah, BSA’s Accountable Manager and Executive Director, said: “It is a privilege to support Paul and the entire Virgin team. We have built our reputation on trust and standards and we are delighted to continue this journey with the Airbus A330. As with all our clients globally, we aim to maximise their return on investment in BSA by exceeding expectations at all times.”

BSA’s type training portfolio spans both Boeing and Airbus variants but the organisation prides itself on more than just its approvals. According to BSA Executive Director Anoop Singh Bamrah: “BSA is not just a place to get your type training; it is also a place to build your career and work alongside some of the most talented individuals in the industry.
