HAVELSAN Delivers 5th FFS to Turkish Airlines

HAVELSAN has delivered its fifth full flight simulator to Turkish Airlines and announced it would ramp up activities and support for airlines and simulator training centers.

HAVELSAN has delivered the 5th full flight simulator to Turkish Airlines. The latest device, an Airbus A320 full flight simulator, was delivered and installed in May 2024 and is currently undergoing site acceptance test. This is the second Airbus A320 full flight simulator HAVELSAN has delivered to Turkish Airlines in 2024 and forms part of the airlines procurement contract for a total of 11 Airbus A320 ceo/neos and Boeing B737MAX full flight simulators and FTDs.

In the month of May another HAVELSAN constructed full flight simulator operated by Turkish Airlines achieved European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Level D certification.   “We are thrilled to announce the first Airbus A320 EASA full flight simulator certification of a HAVELSAN-manufactured device in 2024. It symbolizes our shared dedication with Turkish Airlines to ensure that the simulator training infrastructure meets standards from around the globe,” stated Mehmet Akif Nacar, Ph.D CEO of HAVELSAN.

In 2023 a number of HAVELSAN Boeing B737MAX full flight simulators achieved EASA Level D Certification and HAVELSAN supported Turkish Airline through a training center partnership.

In 2024 HAVELSAN announced it would ramp up activities and support for airlines and simulator training centers including the ability to manufacturer up to eight full flight simulators per year as well as work with airlines to support them expanding their simulator training center operations through flexible solutions.
