Airbus UpNext has started testing new, on ground and in-flight, pilot assistance technologies on an A350-1000 test aircraft.

Capt. Jean-Michel Bigarré, who has been named President of the Aircraft Manufacturer Flight Training Association, promised: “this organization will be a game changer for enhancing flight safety.”

Airbus is expanding its flight training portfolio by extending its Competency Based [pilot] Training and Assessment offer to include Evidence Based Training.

The recent challenges around safety concerns and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic have resulted in Boeing losing ground to Airbus. 

Two serious incidents involving Air India pilots have led to a dispute about training methods at the airline, according to a report by Indian Magazine, Frontline.
