The Wizz Air Training Center was opened in Rome, Fiumicino Airport on the 1st October – and this is a closing of a remarkable period for our team.
The first Wizz Air training unit was built at Budapest in 2018 – also with Realiscon’s cooperation, and a few years after we had the opportunity to handle a project of another one: this time with the developer ADR. The inauguration event of the new center was held in the presence of stakeholders and leading media representatives. Now the training sessions are to be started in the center where two full-flight A3205 Airbus simulators had been installed in the past few months by the CAE, which is the global leader company in the field of flight training technology. The facility is only a few steps away from the main terminal of Fiumicino Airport and takes place on 2500 sqm. Near to the simulators there are classrooms, computer rooms, briefing rooms, multimedia meeting rooms and offices also. A huge system for a huge purpose: 4800 pilot sessions will be able to held in the center yearly. During the construction period our team members were lucky enough to enjoy the Italian coffee traditions for long: they followed and controlled the process directly with permanent presence. This is how we succeed to ensure every detail to meet with Wizz Air’s ambitious goals – and our local partner Fortebis SrL was a quite effective participant of the process. We provided end-to-end project management, overseeing all from design management and technical supervision to interior design. At the same time we were honored to undertook the reconstruction of an aging 1970s facility, and helped to transform an outdated building into a modern training center. We collaborated closely with Wizz Air’s internal teams of training, HR, security, IT, purchasing, marketing, training center operations, airline operations. Our mission was to fully align every aspect of the center with the airline’s current and future needs. Now we are just wishing a nice flight everyone!
