From the turn of the year 2023/2024, Germany’s most popular holiday airline will be breaking new ground in terms of training and education activities for the cockpit and cabin together with the Avenger Flight Group (AFG). A comprehensive Aviation Training Center is being set up in Dreieich in close, partnership-based cooperation. Condor takes care of providing the cabin mockups, while AFG provides the cockpit simulators. The simulators are manufactured using the latest technology from SIM International. There is also sufficient space available for theoretical training components in the adjoining “Dreieich Plaza” office complex. Thus, in addition to the cockpit simulator and recurrent training, retraining, all service and basic training as well as management training will be offered at the new location.

Full Flight Simulators and Flight Training Devices

Up to eight full-flight flight simulators have space in the training center for cockpit training, including at least one for Airbus A320ceo/neo and Airbus A330ceo/neo. Two Flight Training Devices (FTD), i.e. special flight training devices, will also be available at the new location.

Offer for other customers from the airline industry

Other customers from the airline industry will also be able to use the infrastructure of Condor and AFG at the Dreieich site in the future. Due to the attractive location, only a few kilometers from Frankfurt Airport, this offer eliminates the need for long journeys.

“We are pleased to have an experienced partner in the field of simulator training at our side in AFG. Thanks to the close cooperation at the Dreieich site, we can offer our cockpit staff excellent training conditions,” says Christian Schmitt, COO and Accountable Manager at Condor.

“We are very grateful to Condor for this valuable opportunity to work together on the construction of the new training center in Dreieich. With AFG’s extensive experience and expertise in flight simulation, we are honored to be Condor’s trusted partner in this endeavor. The training center, equipped with state-of-the-art flight simulators from AFG and cabin mockups from Condor, will offer all crew members unparalleled training conditions. We look forward to welcoming crew members from around the world to the new training center and are committed to providing them with exceptional training experiences,” said Andrés Restrepo, Executive Vice President, Avenger Flight Group.

So far, the training, education and training measures have taken place in Kelsterbach and Neu-Isenburg, among other places. Condor expects the centralization to simplify logistical training planning and even more efficient and modern training for cockpit and cabin staff.
