  • Enhanced Training Reality: Cutting-edge image quality with higher resolution, precise lighting and shadow effects, and realistic scene rendering.
  • Technological Advancement: Leveraging the latest technologies for lifelike surfaces, light reflections, and realistic ground crew movements.
  • Sustainable Efficiency: Reduced maintenance needs and increased system reliability.

Germany – Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) is reaching new heights with one of the largest investments over all locations in its history: the modernization of 21 full-flight simulators across Europe. This ambitious program, launched two years ago and now entering the spotlight, underscores LAT’s commitment to delivering innovative and reliable training solutions.

Upgrading Training for the Next Generation

Over the course of a five-year roll-over program, LAT is upgrading four simulators annually with state-of-the-art technology from leading providers such as CAE and Collins Aerospace. The project involves replacing projectors and image generators, as well as optimizing cockpit mirror films and other system components.

Modernization Across Europe

The journey began with simulators in Zurich and Berlin. Over the coming years, additional upgrades will follow at key locations, including Vienna, Frankfurt, Munich, and Essen. These enhancements not only improve training quality but also ensure the long-term availability of LAT’s simulators. Each simulator upgrade is completed in just 1-2 weeks, minimizing downtime.

Jens Jährling (Senior Director Training Devices & Infrastructure LAT): “By modernizing the visual systems of 21 full flight simulators, we are once again underlining LAT’s commitment to always supporting our customers in their training with state-of-the-art technology and equipment of the latest technical standard. I am very pleased that all LAT locations in Europe will be able to benefit from this project. In addition to the significantly improved optical quality of the vision systems, the replacement will make a lasting contribution to the more efficient use of our simulators thanks to the reduced maintenance effort and increased system reliability.”

ACMI Operator Avion Express Welcomes 50 New First Officers Through Partnership with BAA Training

Avion Express, a leading ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) operator, celebrates a major achievement in addressing the demand for pilots by successfully transitioning 50 cadets into First Officers within its ranks this year.

Laura Macutkevic, Vice President People and Culture at Avion Express, emphasized the vital role airlines play in the career paths of new pilots, stating: “The journey to becoming a professional pilot is rigorous, and airlines have a responsibility to invest time and resources to make this pathway more efficient and accessible. At Avion Express, we recognize that our ambitions for growth rely heavily on our flight crew. That’s why we focus on developing effective training programs for all our pilots and fostering strong partnerships with training academies to smooth the transition for cadets into active flying roles.”

Macutkevic also highlighted the collaborative efforts behind this milestone, specifically the partnerships with BAA Training and Eagle Jet.

“Partnerships with pilot training academies are as important as our internal efforts,” Macutkevic explained. “As part of the ASG Group, which encompasses diverse aviation services, including pilot training, we leverage unique synergies to create even greater opportunities for cadets. Our collaboration with BAA Training, for instance, allows us to streamline the training process and deliver results that benefit both pilots and airlines. We are proud to see so many new pilots turning into First Officers and joining Avion Express this year.”

Avion Express also highlighted that those 50 cadets transitioning into First Officers before the end of the year is a significant achievement, but for 2025, the Company plans to keep going in the same direction.

“When we set the goal of transitioning 50 cadets into First Officers last year, it seemed very ambitious. But from today’s perspective, and given our growth, we expect even more next year. Speaking about the pilot upgrade processes at the Company overall, it’s important to note that we’ve also seen 18 First Officers move on to become Senior First Officers, and 16 First Officers advance to the rank of Captain this year”,- shares L. Macutkevic.

Avion Express became the first ACMI operator this year to have a simulator exclusively dedicated to its needs, in partnership with BAA Training and according to Laura this advanced training infrastructure ensures consistent quality and efficiency.
