Ansett Aviation Training and AMST have signed a contract for an AMST AIRFOX Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for Airbus A320 CEO/NEO Std. 2.1. The ready-for-training date will be in Q3 2024. The signing ceremony was held at Ansett Aviation Training’s Dubai Training Centre in January 2024, marking a significant expansion of their training capabilities in the Middle East.
Mark Delany, CEO of Ansett Aviation Training, and Rainer Schluesselberger, Managing Director of AMST, formalised the contract in attendance of Khaled Hares, Manager of Ansett’s Dubai Training Centre, and Marijn Laagewaard, AMST Sales Director EMEA.
Delany commented on the partnership, saying: "The timely availability to deploy the simulator was essential to support our growth plans for Dubai and we are looking forward to working with the experienced team at AMST".
The introduction of the AMST A320 FFS at Ansett’s Dubai facility, which currently houses an ATR72-600 simulator, marks an important significant expansion of their operations. This move is particularly strategic given the Middle East's status as one of the fastest-growing airline markets and Dubai's prominence as a global aviation hub, according to Ansett.
