Saudia Academy, a strategic business unit of Saudia Group, has launched two new A320neo flight simulators, provided by L3Harris Technologies (LHX). This addition brings the academy's total to five advanced simulators of this type.

The launch event, held under the patronage of His Excellency the Director General of Saudia Group, Engr. Ibrahim Al-Omar, was attended by delegates and esteemed guests including L3Harris and Airbus executives. This signifies a major expansion of the academy's capabilities. It also marks a milestone in the Academy's growth journey and cements its goals to offer a full spectrum of aviation training to Saudi Arabia and the region.

Capt. Ismael S. Alkoshy, CEO of Saudia Academy said: "The launch of these A320neo simulators is a testament to our dedication to remain at the forefront of the aviation training technology. This strategic expansion reflects our commitment to meeting the dynamic needs of the regional market, particularly with the growing presence of the narrowbody A320neo. We are not just enhancing our capacity; we are actively contributing to the dynamic growth of aviation expertise in the Kingdom and beyond.”

Additionally, there are plans to establish a new flight training facility in Riyadh, a move that the academy believes will strengthen its presence and influence within its network of aviation and non-aviation clients, regionally and globally.
