Atlantis Delivers Flight Trainer To Alitalia (Feb. 22)
TORONTO---On January 12th, 2001, Alitalia S.p.A., the Italian national airline, formally accepted delivery of an Airbus A320 Flight Training Device from Atlantis Systems International of Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
The A320 FTD is installed in Alitalia's Fiumicino base near Rome. Alitalia already uses Atlantis FTDs for aircrew training on Boeing 767-300 and 747-400 aircraft.
In choosing Atlantis for the A320 FTD, Alitalia was influenced by the performance of the two Atlantis trainers already in service, and by the high quality of Atlantis hardware compared to competing products. The airline concluded that the Atlantis FTD represented the best value for money over the long term.
A pioneer in the development of simulation-based Flight Training Devices, Atlantis Systems International employs approximately 160 people in its Brampton, Ontario facility. The company has been supplying cost-saving training solutions to customers around the world since 1978.
