A lot of money is spent on publishing these advertisements in the newspapers. This ad must have been seen/approved by maybe ten people before being sent for publication. Just look at the closing time: 9030 hours. Then we say, why PIA can't recover from losses?

Karachi, 22 April 2022: PIA has acquired an electric motion system, move-by-wire Airbus A320 simulator. This will be the first A320 full reality simulator in the Country and Region.

Image

The simulator has been acquired from UK based company L3 Harris. The Installation and work commencement ceremony was inaugurated by CEO PIA, Air Marshal Arshad Malik at PIA Training Centre. The new Reality Seven Full Flight Simulator supplied by L3Harris is first of its kind simulator in Pakistan and will give the airline’s pilots the highest-quality trainings.

The vision and aviation expertise of CEO PIA, Air Marshal Arshad Malik has led to the acquisition of the much awaited latest technology A320 flight simulator, keeping in view the present and future needs of PIA. The prime objective to save cost incurred on training PIA Crew and also to create additional revenue inflows for the airline by giving training to Crew of other airlines of Pakistan and foreign airlines as well. PIA previously used to get trainings of pilots of A320 aircraft in Bangkok, Thailand and other countries at very high costs and also payments in foreign currencies. The airline will now have foreign currency inflows. The A320 aircraft is widely used by PIA and other airlines in the region and its numbers are increasing.

Image

CEO PIA, Air Marshal Arshad Malik congratulated PIA Officials on the commencement of installation work at the Training Centre and instructed the officials to complete the installation within the shortest time period for maximum utilization. Sharing his views on the occasion CEO PIA said that the simulator building complex offers lesser rates in the region than others for trainings on the upgraded Boeing 777 simulator, which is at Par with International Standards; this New Simulator would bring in additional revenue (foreign Exchange) by training other airlines crew apart from trainings to PIA crew at low costs.

Image

The A320 flight simulator will be used for training of more than 400 pilots. He further said that there is great demand for training on A320 Flight simulator as A320 is being regarded as a narrow body economical fuel efficient aircraft being utilized world over and also in this region.

With the commencement of trainings it is expected that PIA will break even on the capital expenditure in the next five years.

Image

The Simulator Training Complex imparts training to PIA cockpit crew as well as of other airlines at most competitive prices and flexible schedules. The Training Centre is adjacent to PIA Hotel thereby providing security, convenience and affordable stay.
