Lufthansa Aviation Training Opens New Brussels Center

Facilities Intended to Improve Service and Efficiency of Crews

Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) has cut the ribbon on a new training center in Brussels, Belgium near Brussels Airport (BRU). This facility aims to expand training opportunities for Brussels Airlines crews and external LAT customers.

The new center is equipped with modern training devices for simulated safety and service experience. This includes an A320 cabin mockup and door trainers for the A320, A330, B737 and B787 models. The facility also hosts a slide tower for narrow and wide-body aircraft, a Real Fire Fighting Trainer, and a dedicated Virtual Reality area for immersive training.

One advantage of this training center is the reduced travel time for Brussels Airlines crews. Past training sessions required lengthy commutes to other locations, increasing costs and complicating schedules. The proximity of the new center to Brussels Airport allows for more flexible training times.

"At Brussels Airlines, our goals are clear and ambitious. We strive to be the carrier of choice for our customers and a leading employer in Belgium,” commented Tilmann Reinshagen, COO of Brussels Airlines. “This modern training center supports these objectives by providing our staff with superior training facilities, enhancing both their working conditions and professional development.”

During the grand opening ceremony, over 60 guests toured the facilities and met with other industry associates. Attendees were given the opportunity to experience LAT’s newest virtual training programs on Extended Reality (XR) headsets. This technology aims to help crews practice and hone their skills in a controlled environment.

"We are very pleased to officially open this latest LAT training center in Brussels today,” expressed LAT CEO Matthias Spohr. “It will contribute significantly to enhancing training opportunities for our flying colleagues at Brussels Airlines. This is not only an important step in the further expansion of LAT but also underscores our expertise in providing high-quality training solutions for Lufthansa Group airlines and the external customer market."

Brussels Airlines is Belgium’s flagship carrier and one of only four airlines in the Lufthansa Group network. It operates from Brussels Airport to more than 90 destinations, including 18 in Sub-Saharan Africa, with 3,500 employees and 44 aircraft.
