Dubai-based airline Emirates is set to construct a training school that will be integral in training pilots for its upcoming 777X and A350 orders. Set to open in 2024, the facility, covering over 60 thousand square feet and containing six full-size flight simulators, will also have classrooms. The building will feature some advanced technological features too including solar-powered capabilities as a power source. It will be built alongside the previous training facilities making it convenient for those already based there.

The addition to the fleet will require in-depth training of new and existing pilots and the new training buildings will help facilitate this. With the A350s set to arrive next year, the construction will be in line with the introduction of the new fleet type.
