Air Astana Group has enhanced its pilot training facilities by introducing a second full-flight simulator at its training center in Kazakhstan's capital. This new simulator, an Acron Aviation Reality7e

The airline, which operates 63 aircraft including Airbus single-aisle jets, aims to strengthen its commitment to effective pilot training and the implementation of advanced aviation technologies. The simulator offers high realism with up to six degrees of motion, enhancing the training experience for over 600 Airbus pilots who have already been trained on the first simulator introduced in 2023.
Why It's Important?
The addition of a new simulator is significant for Air Astana as it underscores the airline's dedication to maintaining high training standards and operational efficiency.
