Dubai/Nieuw-Vennep, March 2024 – Ansett Aviation Training and AMST have signed a contract for an AMST AIRFOX Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for Airbus A320 CEO/NEO Std. 2.1. Ready-for-Training date will be in Q3 2024. The signing ceremony was held at Ansett Aviation Training’s Dubai Training Centre on 29 January 2024, marking a significant expansion of their training capabilities in the Middle East.

Mark Delany commented on the partnership, saying: “We are looking forward to deploying the AMST A320 into our Dubai centre to support our growing regional customer base. The AMST device incorporates the latest technology to ensure the best possible customer training outcomes. The timely availability to deploy the simulator was essential to support our growth plans for Dubai and we are looking forward to working with the experienced team at AMST”.

Rainer Schluesselberger added: “At AMST, we are dedicated to advancing aviation training technology, always focusing on addressing our customers’ needs. We take great satisfaction in being able to quickly provide the A320 FFS to Ansett Aviation Training’s Dubai facility. This project not only showcases our ability to efficiently execute and deliver on complex training solutions but also reflects our dedication to supporting the dynamic and growing needs of the global aviation industry, particularly in strategic regions like the Middle East”.

The introduction of the AMST A320 FFS at Ansett’s Dubai facility, which currently houses an ATR72-600 simulator, marks an important significant expansion of their operations.
