Simaero Strengthens Paris CDG Capabilities with a Brand New A320 CEO/NEO Full-Flight Simulator

Paris, June 2025

Just two months after the grand opening of our new Paris CDG Training Center in April 2025, Simaero is pleased to announce the upcoming arrival of a brand-new A320 CEO/NEO Full-Flight Simulator (FFS), manufactured by China Simulation Sciences Co., Ltd. (CSS).

Arriving this summer and ready-for-training in H2 2025, this A320 CEO/NEO full-flight simulator will be the second device installed at our newly inaugurated facility, joining the A350 FFS to further strengthen our growing pilot training capabilities.

Built to the latest industry standards, the simulator is Airbus Standard 2.1.0 and features a MOOG electric motion system, a Rockwell Collins EP-8100 visual system, advanced avionics and offer multiple engine configurations - CFM LEAP-1A (NEO), PW1127G-JM (NEO), and CFM56-5B4 (CEO).

CSS, a pioneer in aviation simulation technology, is recognized for its innovation and expertise in developing high-level flight simulators. This new A320 CEO/NEO FFS mirrors the twin CSS-built device already in operation at our Changsha Training Center, which is certified by both the CAAC and EASA. This alignment ensures consistency in performance, fidelity, and training standards across Simaero’s global network.

The 10th Simulator to Join Our Paris CDG Fleet

With the addition of an A320 CEO/NEO full-flight simulator in Paris, Simaero’s CDG Training Centers will be able to deliver a higher volume of regulatory training programs for this increasingly common aircraft type. The new simulator also supports airline fleet commonality strategies by enabling flexible training across multiple engine variants, helping operators maintain pilot proficiency and operational readiness.

“Adding a brand-new A320 CEO/NEO simulator to our newly opened Paris CDG Training Center is a pivotal step in our commitment to serving evolving needs of European and global carriers,” said Nicolas Moute, CEO of Simaero. “Positioned next to our A350 FFS, this new A320 CEO/NEO will not only enhance our scheduling flexibility but also allow us to meet the growing demand for Airbus A320 training for both experienced and entry-level pilot training.”
