Icelandair and CAE have announced an agreement to acquire a state-of-the-art Airbus A320-family full-flight simulator (FFS). The new FFS, supporting Icelandair’s Airbus A321 fleet in 2025, will be installed at CAE Reykjavík – Icelandair Flight Training Centre. Moreover, it is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2025.
Sylvia Kristin Olafsdottir, COO of Icelandair, said, “We are thrilled to announce our new contract with CAE and to continue fostering our fruitful partnership. The new simulator will allow us to continue providing world-class training in Iceland, giving us the flexibility and agility needed to expand our route network, introduce new destinations, and grow our pilot group accordingly. As an island nation, Iceland heavily relies on air transport and as the leading airline, we recognize the importance of having such facilities within the country, ensuring top-notch training opportunities for pilots.”
