Wizz Air

Wizz Air, a low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, has celebrated the grand opening of the new Wizz Air Flight Simulator and Training Center at Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Budapest. The training center is equipped with an A320 full flight simulator for pilot training and two aircraft cabin mock-ups and a fire fighting trainer unit will be installed shortly by Flight Simulation Company (FSC). FSC will operate the training center on Wizz Air’s behalf for the next 10 years, representing a local investment of €15m by the airline. Located close to Wizz Air’s Budapest office, the training center will be in easy reach of a workforce of over 1,600 Wizz Air employees, which is expected to grow to more than 5,000 within the next 10 years.
