Malaysia gets new Airbus H175 helicopter simulator cockpit

Scheduled to enter service in the second half of 2026, the aircraft will support the growing demand for flight training in the region, demonstrating Airbus’ commitment to its customers.

Available for the first time outside Europe, the new H175 helicopter simulator, together with the existing H225 and AS365 helicopter simulators, will provide an optimized learning experience with digital classrooms and virtual reality flight training devices. These expanded capabilities will support conversion training, recurrent training and mission-based flight training to ensure operational capability in emergency situations.

Airbus Helicopters' flight simulation center in Malaysia has provided more than 21,000 hours of training to about 2,600 pilots.

“This investment underscores Airbus’ commitment to aviation safety and customer engagement,” said Romain Trapp, Executive Vice President, Customer Support and Services, Airbus Helicopters. “By enhancing our training capabilities in Malaysia, we are confident that pilots and technicians in the Asia-Pacific region will have access to world- class equipment designed to enhance safety and availability.”
