Airways Aviation celebrated the opening of its new simulator centre at the Gold Coast Airport, marking a significant milestone in the continued expansion of its pilot training facilities.

The event saw a full house with attendees including key industry partners, academic collaborators from Ansett Aviation Training, Griffith University, Southern Cross University and representatives from Study Gold Coast.  

 For over two decades, Airways Aviation has partnered with ALSIM to support its training solutions. The new centre features the milestone 100th ALSIM AL250 simulator, designed to meet the needs of prospective commercial pilots in the initial stages of their career, covering PPL, CPL and IR/ME courses. This simulator offers reconfigurable SEP/MEP capabilities and a switchable classic to glass cockpit.

The launch event also served as a platform to reaffirm Airways Aviation’s support for the Griffith Aviation MATES program, an initiative that fosters mentorship and development among aviation students.
