Alteon Training, a

Level "D" certification on two full-flight simulators, at its new

newest location near Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International

full-flight simulators, and train up to 7,000 pilots annually.
The Boeing 717-200 full-flight simulator will support AirTran
and Midwest Airline training requirements. Within the next 60 days,
a second 717-200 full-flight simulator will join this one in
support of these anchor customers.
The Boeing 737-700/800
full-flight simulator received level "D" certification for both
variants and will support AirTran's new Boeing Next Generation (NG)
fleet.
Alteon has three other Boeing 717-200 and thirteen 737 NG
full-flight simulators in its worldwide fleet.
