Denmark’s Leading Center Air Pilot Academy Acquired its Third Simnest Simulator

Budapest, Hungary – Flight simulator manufacturer Simnest Aviation successfully installed a Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator at Center Air Pilot Academy, the largest and leading flight school in Denmark. This new flight simulation training device is the third Simnest simulator in their fleet and will be used to train future pilots for several Nordic airlines.

Center Air Pilot Academy based at Roskilde Airport is one of the first customers of Simnest Aviation. Their cooperation started in 2016 when Simnest Aviation delivered and installed the second Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator in their history. Seeing Simnest Aviation’s expertise, a year later CAPA commissioned the simulator manufacturer to retrofit its existing B737 simulator.

In the years since, pilots have been trained on the two simulators, catering to an increasing number of airlines. This autumn CAPA contracted another two airlines, the Scandinavian Airlines and the Danish Jettime and continues to expand its airline partner base. As the negotiations with their two new airlines partner were already underway over the summer, CAPA signed a contract with Simnest in July to expand their capacity with a new Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator, which is the third in their fleet.

“In recent years, we have introduced a customer satisfaction survey system at Simnest Aviation that includes three different types of surveys with different purposes. These provide us with data that is vital for the further development of our products. Yet, the greatest recognition we receive from our customers is when they order another Simnest simulator to add to their existing ones.” – Simnest Aviation’s CEO Balázs Herendi expressed his delight about the order.

“We have been operating Simnest simulators for eight years now. During this time, there has never been any reason to even consider looking for another supplier for our third simulator. I think that says a lot about their devices and our satisfaction.” – commented CAPA CEO Jens Frost on their latest purchase.

The Center Air Pilot Academy’s newest Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator was installed at the school’s Roskilde base in November and is expected to undergo the qualification of CAA in January.

UAE Based Emirates Takes Delivery of the First of 65 Ordered Airbus A350

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Emirates has taken delivery of its first A350-900 aircraft, marking an important step in Emirates’ fleet growth strategy. It marks the long-standing partnership between Emirates and Airbus which is built on innovation, efficiency and operational excellence. The A350 is set to enhance Emirates’ medium and long-haul operations beyond the airline’s existing network.

Emirates has ordered a total of 65 A350-900s as part of the airline’s’ broader plans to support Dubai’s’ Economic Agenda, which aims to add 400 cities to Dubai’s foreign trade map over the next decade. The A350 will play a vital role in establishing the newly announced Dubai World Central (DWC) mega hub, further strengthening Dubai’s position as a global aviation leader.

Emirates A350-900 will feature three spacious and comfortable cabin classes, accommodating 312 passengers (32  business, 21 premium economy and 259 spacious economy class seats). Emirates will also be the first airline in the Middle-East to introduce Airbus’ new HBCplus satcom connectivity solution, offering seamless, high-speed global connectivity.

The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and the long range leader in the 300-410 seater category. Its clean sheet design includes state-of-the-art technologies, aerodynamics, lightweight materials and latest generation engines that together deliver a 25% advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and CO₂ emissions. The A350’s Airspace cabin is the quietest of any twin-aisle in the sky featuring a 50% noise footprint reduction versus the previous generation aircraft.

As with all Airbus aircraft, the A350 aircraft is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030.

At the end of October 2024, the A350 Family had won more than 1,340 firm orders from 60 customers worldwide.
