Emirates invests $48 million ahead of A350 launch

Emirates has invested $48 million in training and crew support, in preparation for the A350 joining its fleet. This includes three full flight simulators, a fixed base training device, a cabin emergency evacuation trainer and a door trainer. The airline’s first A350 full flight simulator received a level D qualification, the highest for this type of simulators, from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). “Spearheading innovation is at the core of Emirates’ DNA, and that is reflected in our newly acquired A350 training equipment suites and our advanced pilot training facility set to open later in the year,” said
