Simtech Aviation has officially launched its b A state-of-the-art CAE Airbus A320 CEO/NEO full-flight simulator facility in Dublin.
The launch event was marked by a major celebration at Simtech Aviation’s Pilot Training Centre of Excellence near Dublin Airport. The official ribbon-cutting and celebration were attended by Ireland’s Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien, alongside senior representatives from Aer Lingus, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), and AerCap.
The rollout is part of a massive, multi-million euro partnership with Aer Lingus. It marks the airline’s largest pilot training investment in over twenty years.
Simtech Aviation provides the purpose-built physical facility, flight deck mounting infrastructure, and ongoing 24/7/365 engineering maintenance support. This addition makes Simtech Ireland’s largest full-motion flight simulator training centre.
An Airbus A330 CEO/NEO simulator is also entering service as part of this phase, with a cutting-edge Airbus A321XLR simulator scheduled to follow in early 2027.
The expanded facility dramatically increases Ireland’s capacity to train commercial airline pilots locally. It allows cadets and seasoned crews to undergo advanced EASA and UK CAA Multi-Crew Cooperation (MCC) training, type ratings, and recurrent airline assessments right next to Dublin Airport.
Simtech Aviation is a leading European flight training organization and Approved Training Organisation (ATO) located near Dublin Airport at Kestrel House, Dublin Airport Logistics Park, St. Margaret’s, Co. Dublin. They operate full-motion and fixed-base simulators for Boeing, Airbus, and ATR aircraft, offering APS MCC, type ratings, and cadet training.
