Acron Aviation Commercial Training Solutions (CTS) and EGYPTAIR have announced the signing of an agreement for a Reality7e Airbus A320neo Full Flight Simulator, continuing a working relationship that spans almost 25 years.
The new device will be the EGYPTAIR Training Academy's second A320neo Full Flight Simulator, adding capacity for A320-family type rating, recurrent and command upgrade training at its Cairo International Airport campus. In expanding the academy's simulator inventory, EGYPTAIR strengthens its service offering for customers in the region.
Ben Swann, Chief Operating Officer, Acron Aviation CTS, said, “EGYPTAIR was the first operator in the Middle East and Africa to acquire a RealitySeven A320 simulator, which has been supporting pilot training in Cairo since 2020. The addition of a second A320neo device will help meet growing demand for A320-family training across the region.” Swann continued, “Our partnership with EGYPTAIR spans more than two decades, and we are proud to continue supporting one of the region's most respected airlines and training organizations. We greatly value the trust EGYPTAIR has placed in us over many years and look forward to supporting the academy's continued growth and its mission to deliver world-class pilot training across the Middle East and Africa.”
The EGYPTAIR delegation also visited CTS’s London Training Center and production facilities, gaining first-hand insight into the company’s end-to-end capabilities in the design, manufacture and support of advanced pilot training solutions. Captain Ahmed Adel, Chairman and Executive Managing Director, EGYPTAIR Holding Company, said, “We continue to invest in the latest training technologies to strengthen EGYPTAIR Training Academy's position as a leading regional hub for pilot training in the Middle East and Africa.”
