In line with its growth objectives in the aviation sector, Turkish Airlines (THY) has taken another strategic step by commissioning a full-flight Boeing 737 MAX simulator from HAVELSAN, a leading Turkish company in defense and software technologies.
High-Tech Era in Pilot Training Begins
Flight simulators play a critical role in enhancing pilots’ operational skills and preparing them for emergency scenarios. The Boeing 737 MAX simulator to be developed by HAVELSAN will be equipped with the latest simulation technologies. Offering an ultra-realistic flight experience, the simulator will provide THY pilots with advanced training capabilities.
Strengthening the Strategic Partnership Between HAVELSAN and THY
In a statement by the THY Press Office, it was noted that this new order follows the successful delivery of previous simulators by HAVELSAN.
“This collaboration is not only about acquiring a simulator, but also symbolizes the progress of Turkish aviation technology and the firm commitment to localisation.”
Realistic Training with the Boeing 737 MAX
Renowned for its fuel efficiency, advanced aerodynamic design, and enhanced passenger comfort, the Boeing 737 MAX is part of many global airline fleets. Following comprehensive upgrades addressing previous technical issues, the aircraft has safely returned to service. With the simulator provided by HAVELSAN, THY pilots will gain in-depth familiarity with the aircraft and be prepared for various flight scenarios.
Reducing Foreign Dependence Through Domestic Technology
HAVELSAN’s advanced simulators help reduce Turkey’s reliance on foreign aviation solutions while boosting domestic production capacity. This project is seen as a concrete example of the country’s localisation efforts in the defense and aviation ecosystem, also showcasing the strength of local engineering and highly qualified talent.
Investing in the Future of Turkish Aviation
This strategic partnership is significant not only for THY and HAVELSAN but also for the future of Turkey’s aviation industry. With its geographic advantage, growing infrastructure, and potential as an international hub, Turkey is steadily advancing toward becoming a regional aviation centre.
