Boeing brings 787 training to Miami

Boeing has launched 787 customer training in Miami, Fla., the site of the company's largest commercial aviation training campus. Aeromexico and LAN Airlines are the first two customers to train on the 787 suites at the Boeing Flight Services Miami campus.

Boeing has greatly enhanced its overall training capability in Florida following an announcement in March that the company would relocate training devices from Seattle to Miami.

“To better serve airlines and meet growing personnel training requirements, two 787 full-flight simulators are now located at the Miami campus as well as an additional Next-Generation 737 full-flight simulator and 717, 747 and 767 simulators.

An additional 777 simulator will locate in Miami later this year,” Boeing said in a statement. “These seven devices will bring total capability in Miami to 17 full-flight simulators across airplane types, making the campus one of the largest commercial flight training facilities in the world.”
