Emirates Airlines announced the establishment of a new advanced training center for pilots in March 2024, which will accommodate 6 flight simulators with full functions for the Airbus A350 / / and Boeing / 777X / that the airline will receive in the coming years.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Supreme Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airlines and the Group, said, “The investment of $135 million to establish a new center for training pilots will ensure that Emirates Airlines will fully start training its pilots before receiving the new aircraft, starting in 2024.”
We will provide the building with the latest technologically advanced simulation flight devices to provide the best training for pilots while using solar energy to reduce energy consumption.”
The new building will be located next to the existing Emirates Airline training facilities in Dubai, which will soon provide full integration with all other pilot training centres.
Trainee pilots will also benefit from the ability to set up and configure the cockpit environment using dedicated hardware as part of the training module and upload data to the fully functional simulator before starting their respective training session.
This innovative and first-of-its-kind concept was designed to shorten the trainee’s preparatory time inside the device and help him maintain focus and make full use of the training period.
With the addition of the new terminal to Emirates’ existing training facilities in Dubai, the airline will expand its pilot training capacity by 54 percent annually.
Emirates pilots will have greater flexibility to hone their flying skills through 17 fully functional simulators that provide a capacity of more than 130,000 hours of training per year across all facilities.
The new Emirates Airline center will start training the first batch of pilots who will fly the Airbus A350 by June 2024, in preparation for the start of receiving this type of aircraft later.
In addition to its state-of-the-art cockpit crew training facilities, Emirates provides aviation professionals with a range of world-class training and development programs at its facilities in Dubai, which include the Emirates Pilot Training Academy, Emirates Aviation University, and the Emirates Crew Training Center, in addition to many programs for different segments of the aviation industry. staff.
