Air Austral has a modern structure which opened initially in 2008 on the initiative of the Directorate of Personnel Navigant Commercial of Air Austral. This training center initially aimed at maintaining the skills of Air Austral crews but will now be extended to all Reunion residents but also to the inhabitants of the Indian Ocean zone who wish to obtain the diploma of PNC. The centre is composed of 4 classrooms with a capacity of 70 persons, a mock up structure equipped with a 42-seat cabin for firefighting exercises and a technical section where the cabins of the three types of aircraft operated by Air Austral.

Training for the PNC trades will be provided by the Guyards Interline Center, which has been specializing in theoretical and practical training for many years and with the excellent CCA exam success rates (Cabin Crew Attestation). Specialized and experienced trainers from the Center des Guyards will travel to the island to conduct the courses.
