Baltic Aviation Academy (BAA), a Type Rating Training Organization, launched Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulator in the aviation centre premises in Vilnius, on September 19th. It is the first Airbus A320 full flight simulator in the Baltic States. Before the installment of the A320 flight simulator to the academy's headquarters, practical BAA's A320 type rating training was executed in Southampton, England.
„The decision to relocate the Airbus A320 flight simulator to Vilnius is focused on leveraging the demand of Central, Eastern European and Russian aviation markets. Pilots' from neighboring countries will now be able to execute their training in a very close geographical location. The relocation will increase BAA‘s operated A320 training hours by 25% per year”, said Egle Vaitkeviciute, CEO at Baltic Aviation Academy.
