These seven devices will bring total capability
in Miami to 17 full-flight simulators across
airplane types, making the campus one of the
largest commercial flight training facilities in
the world. Boeing also established
Miami as its pro forma flight training campus
for the Americas, the location where airline
crews will receive the initial training provided
to Boeing customers for new model airplane
introductions.
"Miami has always been an important Boeing
training campus and the largest campus in our
global network. Now it will also play an
expanded role in training the pilots and
technicians who will fly and maintain the
groundbreaking 787 Dreamliner," said Sherry
Carbary, vice president, Boeing Flight Services.
"Miami's location at the crossroads of the
Americas offers tremendous advantages as a
preferred location for airlines based in Latin
America, Canada and the United States. Customers
also travel from Europe, Africa, the Middle East
and China to conduct training in Miami."
"Aeromexico sees the expanded capabilities at
the Miami campus as a very positive move," said
Max Alvarez, vice president, Fleet Negotiations,
Aeromexico. "This is a very beneficial
development that will allow a savings in
transportation times and associated costs for
our airline." |
