With their new delivery of the Boeing 737 MAX and new ways of working due to the pandemic, Icelandair has begun to explore new training solutions with the goal to optimize the learning process for its cabin crew team. Therefore, Icelandair has initiated a development project together with Copenhagen-based company, Bolverk XR – a provider of cabin crew VR training.
Chief Cabin Crew Instructor Asgerður Halla Johannsdóttir explained: “With the challenges of the pandemic and the need for innovation in training, we were looking to find the most innovative and realistic way to get our newly re-hired cabin crew team quickly familiar with our B737 MAX.
“VR training is a development project today at Icelandair, which hopefully in the near future will be integrated into our daily training sessions.”
Project Manager Thora Halldora Gunnarsdottir said: “Not only would a full aircraft visit in a VR environment save our instructors a great amount of time, but would also definitely enhance our cabin crew knowledge in a more efficient way as they will be able to train multiple times in VR without the need to wait for an available aircraft.”
Bolverk XR is an exhibitor of this year's 19th European Airline Training Symposium (EATS), taking place in Berlin, Germany.
