Dubai Airshow 2023: Saudia Academy buys simulators from L3Harris

Saudia Academy and L3Harris have signed an agreement which will see the academy acquire two AIRSIDESIM ground handling simulators.

Captain Ismael Koshy, CEO of Saudia Academy, and Ben Swann, general manager, training system at L3Harris.

Airside incidents are expensive with the average cost of an incident involving ground handling equipment costing nearly $586,000, let alone the delays and intangible costs. 

“This agreement is in line with the transformation of the region and will help with the consistency of training air crew,” said Ben Swann, general manager, training system at L3Harris.
