Portugal – International Flight Academy (IFA) has announced a strategic partnership with Denmark-based VRpilot to integrate its VRflow virtual reality platform into Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 MAX training programs, significantly enhancing pilot preparation and training quality.

• The VRflow solution enables type rating students to rehearse aircraft procedures in a highly realistic and immersive virtual environment, improving knowledge retention, confidence, and procedural readiness before entering a full flight simulator.

• The rollout will take place across IFA’s facilities in Cascais and Viseu, supporting the academy’s goal of maintaining cutting-edge training standards.

• The initiative reflects IFA’s commitment to equipping cadets with modern tools that mirror evolving airline training practices, where virtual reality is increasingly used to complement traditional simulators.

• With over 25 years of training experience, IFA operates advanced Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 simulators and delivers a range of programs from ab-initio to type rating training for airlines and individual cadets.
