Turboprop manufacturer ATR has opened a new pilot training centre near Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The facility is equipped with a Thales ATR 72-500 full flight simulator.
ATR established the centre in partnership with Sim Aero Training, which will house the FFS and provide technical support.
The manufacturer also has training centres in Toulouse, Bangkok and Toronto, and will soon open centres in Johannesburg and Bangalore.
ATR chief executive Filippo Bagnato said the new Paris facility will "allow the load to be lightened for our other training centres, particularly the Toulouse centre, which are already operating full-time".
