Türkiye’s HAVELSAN Secures EASA Certification for Another Airbus A320 FFS in December 2025
Turkiye – headquartered flight simulator manufacturer HAVELSAN, has confirmed that another Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator (FFS) has received EASA certification and is now ready for training.
- The certification follows AFM reporting in November that HAVELSAN hosted a senior Airbus delegation at its Ankara production facility, underscoring closer engagement between the manufacturer and the Airbus ecosystem.
- This follows the manufacturer in September adding another Airbus A320 full flight simulator to its production line. The flight simulator manufacturer has invested significant time and resources to develop state of the art Airbus type specific training devices to support Airbus operators and independent training centers around the world.
In addition to device deliveries to Airbus A320 airline clients, HAVELSAN is proud to be supporting independent pilot training center operators including IFTC and Simaero with one EASA certified A320ceo/neo full flight simulator already in operations at IFTC and the Simaero device being delivered in 2025 to Simaero’s brand new training center in Delhi, India.
In 2024 HAVELSAN announced it would ramp up activities and support for airlines and simulator training centers including the ability to manufacturer up to eight full flight simulators per year as well as work with airlines to support them expanding their simulator training center operations through flexible solutions.
HAVELSAN is especially putting focus on providing industry leading after sales support, discussing with customers long-term cooperation projects and this has been well received by airlines and training centers with HAVELSAN currently having over six full flight simulators under construction.
