Ben Swann, VP and General Manager for Training Systems at L3Harris said: “This A320neo represents a significant milestone in our partnership with Air Astana. We are proud that an L3Harris device was the first FFS to be installed in Kazakhstan and this second device shows the region’s leading airline have confidence in our technology and team.
