New Nordic Facility To Expand Helicopter Training

Coptersafety is building a new training center in Oslo, Norway, set to open in 2028, expanding its training services beyond its Helsinki headquarters.

“Our Helsinki headquarters and training center will be at maximum simulator capacity in the next two years, yet the need for pilot training in Europe and globally is only increasing. Coptersafety’s new facility in Oslo will provide operators a choice in location, alongside our Helsinki headquarters and training center, and new simulator aircraft platforms,” hared Coptersafety’s CEO Hannu Marjoniemi.

The purpose-built center will add capacity to meet growing demand for pilot training as fleets expand in Europe and globally, in operations such as HEMS, SAR, and offshore.

The facility will house a fleet of Level D full flight simulators and training devices, starting with a Level D H135/H145 full flight simulator. The rest of the fleet will be announced at a later stage.

The Oslo center will follow the same training approach as the Helsinki facility, covering ground to flight training. The center is scheduled to open in 2028, with further details and specific dates to follow.
