Atlantic Flight Academy (AFA) and Simnest Aviation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the second day of the EATS 2025 exhibition, establishing the first step in a planned long-term cooperation between the organizations.
Under the agreement, AFA will acquire a new flight simulator, a Simnest A320 FNPT II MCC, to expand its capacity to train future airline pilots. The device will be used for MCC training and for specific phases of the academy’s contribution to airlines’ MPL program, preparing cadets for airline workflows and multi-crew cockpit environments from the outset of their professional journey.
In addition to its training role, the simulator will also act as a strategic demonstrational platform in Istanbul, Türkiye, supporting Simnest Aviation’s expansion in Türkiye and the Middle East by providing hands-on access to its high-fidelity, type-representative Simnest A320 training device.
The final purchase agreement is expected to be signed within the coming weeks, the simulator installation is scheduled for the summer of 2026, and the two organizations are already in ongoing discussions regarding further phases of their cooperation.
