Brussels Now Home to Advanced VR Training Facilities

The Lufthansa Aviation Training Group (LAT) has officially opened its new training center in Brussels. Located near Brussels Airport, the center will be available to both Brussels Airlines’ and external LAT customers, enhancing training opportunities for flight crews at the Belgian capital’s airport.

The center features a variety of training devices for conducting safety and service training. Facilities include a A320 cabin mockup, several door trainers for the Airbus A320 and A330, as well as for the Boeing 737 and 787. Additional equipment comprises a slide tower for narrow- and wide-body aircraft and a next-generation Real Fire Fighting Trainer outside the training center. A Virtual Reality area is also part of the training setup.

LAT believes Brussels Airlines crews will particularly benefit from this new opening, as it will allow them to avoid long travel distances to other training locations. This will not only save costs but also lead to more efficient scheduling.

Over 60 invited guests attended the grand opening to tour the modern training facilities and network with industry colleagues. A highlight of the event was the opportunity for guests to experience LAT’s latest virtual reality training programs using VR headsets in the LAT XR-Buzz.
