Why Choose A320 Type Rating?

Type Rating certification is essential for a pilot if they want a career as an airline pilot. Investing in the A320 Type Rating proves advantageous for the following reasons.

Leader in the Market

As of May 2026 Airbus report, the A320 family has now surpassed 20,000 cumulative orders, doubleing down further on the A320 family's position as the world's best-selling commercial aircraft family.

Fly-By-Wire Aircraft

The A320 Family’s cockpit shares commonalities with the other Airbus aircraft. A single Type Rating enables pilots to fly A319, A320, and A321. They can also easily step up to Airbus’ widebody fly-by-wire aircraft with Cross Crew Qualification, opening opportunities for versatility in their flying assignments and giving airlines greater flexibility in deploying the flight crews.

Experience Preparing Indian Pilots

BAA Training has extensive experience working with Indian pilots. More than 150 students from India hold Type Rating certificates issued by BAA Training, and the majority of them are already successful pilots.

India – Key Aviation Market

IATA says that India is a key aviation market for the Asia Pacific region as well as the rest of the world and will likely see robust air travel demand in years to come. In 2025, the Indian aviation market size was valued at approximately $14.78 to $16.24 billion, and is firmly established as the world's third-largest domestic aviation market.
