The FlightSafety International Dash 8-400 simulator housed at Kenya Airways Pride Center is operational, with regional low-cost airline, Jambojet as the anchor user.
The simulator, which is the third in Africa will support high-quality pilot and maintenance crew training. Before the simulator was brought into the country, Jambojet used to fly their pilots to Canada for the simulation exercise which is a requirement after every six months. The pilots would normally take about a week to complete the training which had an effect of reducing productivity. It was also an expensive affair for the airline as the pilots need four sessions with each session being $400. The beauty is that other airlines in the region stand to benefit from having the simulator here as they will also be able to utilise it for their training.
