The two sides agreed to extend cooperation in operating Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 SIMs until the end of 2033, thus meeting the demand of SIM training for pilots of the carrier.

SIM training in Vietnam not only helps the carrier increase safety and flexibility but also saves time as well as optimizes costs to improve business efficiency in the post-pandemic recovery.

Previously, in the 2017-2018 period, Vietnam Airlines received three modern SIM units, which are suitable with technical features of aircraft types that the carrier is operating, including Airbus A321, Airbus A350 and Boeing 787, from CAE.

The reception of modern technology transfer related to operation and maintenance of SIM systems for large aircraft types such as Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 has helped the carrier take the lead in technology application, building the most modern flight training center in Vietnam, thereby developing sustainable and stable pilot training resources.
