Civil Aviation Flight Simulation & Simulation Training Market Forecast 2015-2025: Prospects for Leading Companies

7. Expert Opinion ____

7.1 Aviation Academy Austria Aviation Academy Austria is a flight training organisation located near Vienna International Airport.

Its central European location means that the academy is easily accessible from across the

continent. Aviation Academy Austria operates state-of-the-art equipment with Level-D certified

flight simulators and six briefing rooms that are equipped with modern flat screens, capable of

delivering comprehensive flight training solutions. Visiongain spoke to Chief Executive Officer,

Thomas Herrele, regarding the flight simulator equipment and training services that the academy

provides. Visiongain would like to thank Mr Herrele for his cooperation and contribution.

7.1.1 Products and Services Visiongain: Could you please detail the company’s business, types of services and products that

you provide?

Mr Herrele: Aviation Academy Austria is an ATO and FFS operator. The courses that we provide

include ATP integrated, MCC, Type Rating Fokker 100, Type Rating C560 XLS, Type Rating C525

CJ2; TRI courses. We also provide dry and wet lease simulator services to external clients. We

provide training services on behalf of specific airlines but due to data protection, I cannot disclose

names of airlines or operators.

7.1.2 Important Geographical Regions for Flight Simulation and

Simulation Training Visiongain: From which geographical regions do the majority of your students come from?

Mr Herrele: For our ATP courses, we mainly see students from Europe, but also North Africa and

Asia. For our simulator services, our intake of students is from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and

South America.

7.1.3 Key Trends in the Flight Simulation and Simulation Training

Market Visiongain: What would you say are the key trends in the global civil aviation flight simulation and

simulation training market?
