Boeing unveils a new training campus in Shanghai

The facility houses full-flight simulators for the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner, flight training devices for both aircraft types, classrooms for maintenance and cabin training, a computer-based training room and briefing rooms. All simulators and training devices are supported around the clock by certified technicians, according to the company.

"This campus reflects Boeing's long-term commitment to aviation safety and workforce development in the Asia-Pacific region," Chris Broom, vice-president of Boeing Commercial Training Solutions, said in a statement.

"As fleet growth accelerates, we must invest in training infrastructure and high-quality curriculum. We will need to scale capability while preserving the highest standards of safety to sustain excellence in aviation training," he said.

Boeing said the campus will provide localized competency-based courseware, as well as blended and virtual learning options and instructor development focused on practical judgment, decision-making and competency-based training and assessment.

Its global educational outreach program will also be held at the campus, hosting student visits and working with local schools and universities to encourage the next generation of commercial aviation professionals.
