Fiji Airways has successfully completed the acceptance and qualification of its brand new A350 Full Flight Simulator. This advanced training device is set to enhance pilot proficiency and support safe, efficient flight operations across the airline’s network. The addition of the A350 simulator represents a significant milestone in Fiji Airways’ commitment to maintaining high standards in pilot training and operational excellence by training within the country.
Fiji Airways Aviation Academy, the airline owned aviation academy and full flight simulator training center announced in September that it had officially commissioned two state-of-the-art CAE 7000XR Full Flight Simulators for the Airbus A350 and ATR-72, along with two new CAE 500XR Fixed Training Devices (FTD’s) for the Airbus A330 and Boeing 737-Max 8.
These cutting-edge simulators, certified by EASA – European Union Aviation Safety Agency and CAAF, reinforce its mission to provide world-class training for pilots and engineers in Fiji. By offering advanced training locally, it helps the airline team stay closer to home while developing their careers, reducing the need for overseas training.
With an investment of FJ$160 million in new pilot training devices, the Academy is well-positioned to meet the growing needs of Fiji Airways and third-party airlines, expanding its role as a leading aviation training center in the Pacific.
MD & CEO, Andre Viljoen, “The addition of these new full flight simulators highlights our dedication to providing the highest standards of training and safety and reinforces our commitment to establishing Fiji as a regional leader in aviation excellence.”

Exhibitors and participants of this year’s European Airline Training Symposium (EATS) are invited to experience the Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator firsthand. This unique opportunity will be hosted by the renowned International Flight Academy (IFA), one of Portugal’s leading aviation training institutions, located just 10 minutes from the exhibition venue.
As the saying goes, “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” – and this couldn’t be more true for flight simulators. While many Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) may appear similar on paper, the real test lies in the experience of flying one. Subtle differences in realism, handling, system operations, responsiveness, and overall performance can make a world of difference.
“After ten years of experience, I can confidently say that once you fly a Simnest simulator, you’ll leave with a smile of satisfaction. Our simulators consistently impress, and more often than not, a test session concludes with an order. That’s why we’re thrilled, in collaboration with our long-standing partner IFA, to offer this exclusive opportunity for selected EATS attendees to experience the Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC simulator firsthand,” said Balázs Herendi, CEO of Simnest Aviation.
The test flights will be held at the IFA training facility, located at Cascais Airport. Complimentary transport will be provided from the Estoril Congress Center to the academy. Each flight session will last approximately 90 minutes. Registration is open until October 25, 2024, and interested participants can secure their spot by emailing sales@simnest.com.
Don’t miss the chance to elevate your experience at EATS 2024 with a hands-on demonstration of one of the most advanced flight simulators on the market.
