Emirates invierte US$ 135 millones en nuevo centro de formación de pilotos

  • Una instalación avanzada con Full Flight Simulator Bays (FFS) para la nueva flota de Airbus A350 y Boeing 777X de Emirates
  • Cuando esté lista en 2024, la nueva instalación tendrá el potencial de ampliar la capacidad de formación de pilotos de Emirates en un 54 % anual

 

Dubái, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, 20 de febrero de 2023:  Emirates construirá pronto una instalación de formación avanzada para acomodar 6 Full Flight Simulator Bays (FFS) para sus futuros aviones Airbus A350 y Boeing 777X. La nueva instalación de 63,318 pies cuadrados está programada para abrir en marzo de 2024.

Su Alteza el Jeque Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, presidente y director ejecutivo de Emirates Airline and Group, dijo: “Esta inversión de 135 millones de dólares para construir un nuevo centro de formación de pilotos garantizará la preparación de Emirates para comenzar su formación de pilotos antes de la entrega de su nueva flota de aviones a partir de 2024. El edificio estará equipado con los últimos simuladores tecnológicamente avanzados para brindar la mejor capacitación a los pilotos, mientras se utiliza energía solar para reducir el consumo de energía”.

El nuevo edificio estará junto a las instalaciones de formación de Emirates existentes en Dubái, lo que proporcionará una gran integración y proximidad a todos los demás centros de formación de pilotos.

Los pilotos en formación también se beneficiarán de poder instalar y configurar el entorno de la cabina utilizando dispositivos personalizados como parte del módulo de formación de pilotos y cargar los datos en el Full Flight Simulator (FFS) antes de comenzar su sesión de formación. Este concepto innovador, primero en su tipo, está diseñado para acortar el tiempo de preparación del alumno dentro del simulador, ayudarlo a mantener el enfoque y aprovechar al máximo la duración del entrenamiento.

Con la incorporación del nuevo edificio a las escuelas de formación existentes de Emirates en Dubái, la aerolínea tendrá el potencial de ampliar su capacidad de formación de pilotos en un 54 % al año. En los edificios de entrenamiento de la aerolínea, los pilotos de Emirates tendrán una mayor flexibilidad e instalaciones para perfeccionar sus habilidades de vuelo con 17 bahías completas de simuladores de vuelo que ofrecen una capacidad de más de 130 000 horas de entrenamiento al año.

En línea con la entrega programada del primer avión Airbus A350 de Emirates, la escuela de formación más nueva de la aerolínea comenzará a formar a su primer lote de pilotos A350 en junio de 2024.

Además de las modernas instalaciones de capacitación para su tripulación de cabina de vuelo, la aerolínea ofrece una variedad de programas de capacitación y desarrollo de clase mundial para su fuerza laboral y para otros profesionales de la aviación. En Dubai, estos incluyen: la Academia de entrenamiento de vuelo de Emirates para cadetes, la Universidad de aviación de Emirates, el Centro de entrenamiento de tripulantes de cabina de Emirates y numerosos programas creados especialmente para diferentes segmentos de sus empleados.

IWC UNVEILS BIG PILOT’S WATCH CAMPAIGN STARRING BRAND AMBASSADOR LEWIS HAMILTON

IWC UNVEILS BIG PILOT’S WATCH CAMPAIGN STARRING BRAND AMBASSADOR LEWIS HAMILTON

Schaffhausen, 3rd June 2021 – Following the launch of its new Pilot’s Watch collection in April, IWC Schaffhausen kicks off a global advertising campaign focusing on the Big Pilot’s Watch. The campaign features seven-time FIA Formula One™ World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton, who has been an IWC brand ambassador since 2013, and tracks Hamilton’s evolution from a ‘driver of the fastest cars’ to a ‘driver of change’, as he increasingly seeks to use his talent and influence to raise awareness of social injustices and broaden opportunities to people from diverse backgrounds. The stunning imagery was shot by British photographer Misan Harriman, who also joins the global IWC family as a new brand ambassador.

IWC’s new campaign pairs Lewis Hamilton with the Big Pilot’s Watch, underscoring the unique status of both. First introduced to the luxury market in 2002, the Big Pilot’s Watch has evolved into a modern design icon and an expression of a distinct mindset. Today, it is the timepiece of choice for cultural creators, bold entrepreneurs and people who go their own way to pursue their vision. Having journeyed from being an athlete who focused on chasing records in his sport to becoming a ‘driver of change’, Hamilton perfectly matches this profile.

He is using his platform more and more to speak up about social issues, including issues relating to diversity and inclusion in his sport. In the campaign, Hamilton wears several timepieces from the new collection: The Big Pilot’s Watch 43, the Big Pilot’s Watch TOP GUN Edition ‘Mojave Desert’, the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar and the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41.

“We could not have found a better person than Lewis Hamilton to express the unique character that the Big Pilot’s Watch embodies. He is not only a remarkable athlete but a multifaceted personality driven by passion and purpose, using his voice to speak out. Lewis deserves our deepest respect for his achievements, not only on the track but also as a driver of change. As we strive to become a more inclusive organisation in line with our ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsibility, we are proud to partner with Lewis who embodies these values on this new campaign,”

Franziska Gsell, CMO IWC Schaffhausen and Sustainability Committee Chair

MISAN HARRIMAN ANNOUNCED AS IWC BRAND AMBASSADOR

The campaign imagery was shot by renowned photographer Misan Harriman.

Entirely self-taught, he has documented many recent defining moments in history and is known for his unique narrative and reportage style. IWC is pleased to announce that Harriman will join its circle of brand ambassadors. The British photographer also appears in IWC’s digital Big Pilot’s Watch campaign. In a short video available on the brand’s digital channels, he talks about milestones in his career and his love for the Big Pilot’s Watch. IWC has also released a conversation between Harriman and Hamilton, in which they discuss the Formula OneTM driver’s incredible career, his passion for fashion and music, and his role as a social activist.

IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN

In 1868, the American watchmaker and entrepreneur Florentine Ariosto Jones travelled from Boston to Switzerland and founded the ‘International Watch Company’ in Schaffhausen. His visionary dream was to combine advanced American manufacturing methods with the craftsmanship of Swiss watchmakers to make the best pocket watches of his time. In doing so, he not only laid the foundation for IWC’s unique engineering approach but also established the centralised production of mechanical watches in Switzerland.

Over its 150 year history, IWC Schaffhausen has developed a reputation for creating functional complications, especially chronographs and calendars, which are ingenious, robust, and easy for customers to use. A pioneer in the use of titanium and ceramics, IWC today specialises in highly engineered technical watch cases manufactured from advanced materials, such as titanium aluminide and Ceratanium®. Preferring the principle of “form follows function” over decoration, the Swiss watch manufacturer’s timeless creations embody their owners’ dreams and ambitions as they journey through life.

IWC sources materials responsibly and takes action to minimise its impact on the environment, creating intrinsically sustainable timepieces that are built to last for generations. The company prides itself in training its own future watchmakers and engineers, as well as offering an excellent working environment for all employees. IWC also partners with organisations that work globally to support children and young people.
