Central European budget carrier Wizz Air is installing an advanced Airbus A320 family aircraft cockpit simulator at its crew training center in Budapest, which will be operational this summer. It will supplement Wizz Air’s full-motion simulator, giving the company added flexibility and allowing additional scheduling options to continue to meet the training requirements for Wizz Air’s planned growth.
The simulator, an exact replica of the A320 flight deck, is identical to a full-flight simulator without the motion and includes a high quality visual system combined with rumble and audio to provide a realistic flight environment.
The device, supplied by MPS, also includes type rating training and some cabin crew training. The new facility is expected to further lower Wizz Air’s operating costs.
Wizz Air operates a fleet of 66 A320 and A321s on more than 400 routes from 24 bases, connecting 118 destinations across 38 countries.
In 2015, the carrier transported 19.2 million passengers.
