Cabin Crew Training Installation

Etihad Airways has awarded a US$14 million contract to Spatial Composite Solutions, the UAE-based manufacturer of crew training equipment. Under the contract, Spatial will design and manufacture a total of 14 cabin crew training devices, including Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner models, to the latest Etihad Airways specifications and install these at the new Etihad Innovation Training Academy in Abu Dhabi. The company will also build a series of door and cabin trainers that cater to Etihad Airways' growing fleet of Airbus A320, A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft, and will conduct an extensive refurbishment program on all existing cabin crew training equipment at the state-of-the-art Etihad Training Academy, located next to the airline's headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
