Training center to house the Avion A320 Level D FFS, the only one of its kind in Greece
-
Will open this summer
Avion Group has unveiled Koropi as the location of its newest training center in Greece. The facility in Koropi is located within 10 minutes of Athens International Airport. The new center will feature the Avion A320 Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS), the only one of its kind in Greece.
Mark van den Hoven, Lead System Architect at Avion Group, will be co-presenting at the World Aviation Training Summit (WATS) pilot stream on Artificial Intelligence and Cloud-Enabled Flight Simulation, together with Mikhail Klassen, Chief Technology Officer, Paladin AI. WATS is taking place 3-5 May 2022 in Orlando, Florida. To learn more about the conference, click here.
Avion has started construction work preparing the existing facility for pilot training. Starting from August, Greek airlines and Approved Training Organizations (ATOs) no longer have to send their crew abroad for Airbus A320 flight training. The facility will house briefing rooms, classrooms, and a crew lounge.
"Being able to train at your home base means huge savings on travel expenses," explains Erik Varwijk, CEO of Avion Group. "We are thrilled to open our Athens flight training center this summer and feel warmed by the support we have received."
The Avion A320 Full Flight Simulator has the Airbus Standard 2.0 CEO and NEO configurations available. The simulator will be EASA qualified.
