Selangor, Malaysia, 22nd March 2021 – Dviation Group is honoured to announce its latest signing with Malindo Air, which took place at Ara Damansara on 17th March 2021.

The training collaboration signifies an agreement between the airline and Dviation’s training unit, Dviation International Training Organization (DITO) on the collaboration on Type Training for ATR72, B737NG and B737MAX.

“We are living in a different world today. The ‘new normal’ not only changes our daily lives, but also greatly impacts the aviation industry.
