In 1997, anticipating the need in the industry for reliable high-quality third party training, The Boeing Company and FlightSafety International (FSI) formed a joint venture called FlightSafety Boeing Training International, or FlightSafetyBoeing (FSB). The company quickly became the world's first truly global training company, offering flight and maintenance training in the 100+ seat aircraft category.

In September 2002, Boeing acquired FSI's interests in FlightSafetyBoeing and renamed the international company Alteon. Alteon now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company within Boeing Commercial Airplanes' Commercial Aviation Services (CAS).

International Training Centers
Alteon actively explores opportunities to increase its global network of training centers by:
· building new training centers
· placing simulators in airline training centers
· managing airline training centers
· partnering with airlines for third party simulator training
· providing outsource support for airline training needs

Total Solutions
To support the world's airlines, Alteon works globally with regulatory authorities to shape the training that establishes industry standards. Airlines rely on Alteon for a wide variety of total training solutions. Many of these solutions step beyond the normal bounds of traditional center-based training to include delivering maintenance training to any facility.  Further, web-based distance learning makes Alteon training available anywhere, any time, reducing travel costs and time away from primary duties.  Regardless of fleet mix - Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas or Fokker - airlines turn to Alteon for training solutions.

The Future
Alteon has created the first truly global training delivery system for the airline industry. When the first 787s are delivered, airlines will find Alteon 787 training centers in six locations throughout the world. 

Future growth plans will involve creative and cooperative relationships with airlines to share and leverage resources to bring the Alteon international standard of training to new aviation training centers in more countries.

Our mission is to continually enhance the efficiency and safety of the aviation system while supporting the economic goals of our customer airlines.
