Singapore-based flight simulator provider SIM Aero Asia plans to build a flight simulator training center in Tangerang, Banten. The US$50 million (Rp666.6 billion) project is expected to start operating next year.
SIM Aero Asia business development officer Alex Teoh said the Indonesian aviation industry’s growth rate is currently among the most rapid in Asia. He said this creates an opportunity for SIM Aero Asia to its business in Indonesia.
“We have received the permit from the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). Through our subsidiary SIM Aero Indonesia we are ready to rent airline simulator equipment to Indonesian airlines,” he said in Jakarta, Wednesday, August 24.
Teoh said Indonesia’s need for flight simulation devices will increase, especially since a number of domestic airlines are raising the number of their fleet to meet the rising demand for air transport services.
Alex is confident SIM Aero optimistic Indonesia can contribute to the development of the Indonesian aviation industry by providing aviation training with international standards.
Alex said his company plans to provide three simulation equipment; one A320 flight simulator and two helicopter simulators. The rent is around US$400 per hour for the A320 and US$800 for a helicopter simulation.
