Prior to crisis, students were recruited via a single assessment test prior to the training, and successful candidates could count on jobs within the airline group. Lufthansa Aviation Training tells Cirium that the “central element” of the new system will be a two-stage assessment process – first to be enrolled in the training programme, and second, after qualification, to secure a job at one of the group’s operators. “These will enable more needs-based training for the various airlines of the Lufthansa Group and take into account the volatile demand in air traffic.” But it adds the new model will more digital training methods and provide “new selection processes”. This will continue to facilitate ab initio training, which, the airline says, “has been proven successful for decades”. Lufthansa will introduce what it terms a “campus model framework”.

There are, of course, challenges ahead, but costs and uncertainty are at the forefront here. “We assume that the industry will continue to open up to the new technologies and that the manufacturers of training equipment will also have to take this path.” With a very successful approach, LAT initiated the decisive path to this before the pandemic and, not least, created an innovative training environment with VR Hubs,” Hofmann says. “In the future, the training will not only be much more efficient with new technologies such as VR and AR, but also more tangible. In order to maximise the benefit from the site, business development executive Oliver Hofmann tells RGN that LAT has learnt from the virtual and distance learning driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, and is considering adding remote options to its regular portfolio. By doing so, LAT is saving further costs by avoiding additional rent expenses with regard to the Waltersdorf location and airline customers benefit from the well-established existing infrastructure at our Berlin-Schönefeld training center.” “In order to best meet our aviation clients’ needs, we have decided to bundle all training activities in Berlin at one location: Berlin-Schönefeld. “The Corona pandemic has had a huge impact on the aviation industry in many ways,” Resch, LAT’s head of safety, service & CRM training, tells RGN. Runway Girl Network sat down with Andrea Resch and Oliver Hofmann at LAT, formerly Lufthansa Flight Training, to learn more about the move, and how COVID-19 is changing the future of airline safety training. Making of the most of the closure of the former Berlin Schönefeld airport, Lufthansa Aviation Training is moving its crew training programmes and simulators from the nearby town of Waltersdorf to join its Berlin pilot training location, next to the new Berlin Brandenburg airport.
