FlightSafety Boeing Training International (FSB) officially opened its new UK training center at London Luton Airport over the summer. The 35,000-sq-ft facility is equipped with a pair of Boeing 737-300 full-flight simulators, a 737-700/800/900 (New Generation) unit and a 757 unit.

Ford Europe’s corporate flight department has already booked time for recurrent training for its Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) crews at Luton, which is just 27 mi from its base at London Stansted Airport. The Ford pilots will use the New Generation 737 simulator, which can be quickly reconfigured to replicate the different handling characteristics of the 737-derived BBJ (e.g., thrust and c.g.). In January, Ford Europe took delivery of two BBJs to replace a pair of MD-11 jetliners for its daily corporate shuttle operations to Cologne, Germany; Bordeaux, France; and Valencia, Spain.
