Wizz Air to open largest training centre in Budapest
Wizz Air plans to open a new training and education centre in Budapest by the end of 2018. The new 3,800 sq m facility, which is located nearby Budapest Ferenc Liszt International, features 2 new full-flight simulators, 1 fix-based simulator and a cabin-emergency evacuation training device. Wizz Air said the new facility will enable the company—which expects to triple its fleet within the new few years—to train 100 crew members daily; this number should rise to 250 crew members per day. Wizz Air COO Diederik Pen said that by the end of 2018, Wizz Air will have an “international team with more than 1,000 pilots and 2,000 cabin crew members. This number could triple within the next 10 years,” he said. The carrier has 256 Airbus A320neo family aircraft on order. <br/>
