The project was successfully completed from the 6th April to the 5th of June 2020, under the special circumstances of the Covid-19 crisis.

SIMAERO team was composed of its permanent Chinese engineers running the project in China, with the remote assistance of the company engineering team in France. The simulator has been successfully certified by Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

“We are honored to be chosen by Yuxiang Aviation Flight Training for the relocation of B737NG full flight simulator to HNCA Aviation Training Center. This project has been exciting and successful. Thanks to SIMAERO French and Chinese engineering teams for succefully completing the project during the Covid-19 crisis. I would also like to thank Yuxiang and HNCA, as well as our partners, Feiyu, Elephant, and Wright Brothers, for the great assistance and support”, said Nicolas MOUTE, CEO of SIMAERO.

On the 14th of June HNCA has organised a celebration of new training center’s opening and the Boeing 737NG simulator has officially started its operations.

“In April 2020, both, China and France, encountered sudden coronavirus outbreaks. Facing many difficulties and challenges, SIMAERO has managed  the simulator engineering team and subcontractors in China, fought side by side, seized every minute and second and carefully relocated the simulator from Xinjiang to Zhengzhou for a distance around 3200 Km. I believe that this successful project will be the beginning of a variety of potential cooperation between HNCA and SIMAERO in the future!”,-  said Rui Shao, Vice General Manager of HNCA Aviation Training Center. 

SIMAERO is continuing to invest in dedicated team based in China to address simulator engineering market. After this important milestone, SIMAERO will continue to develop its presence in the growing Chinese market as well as in the rest of the world.
