Lufthansa trains flight attendants in virtual reality

With the NMY VR Aviation Training, Lufthansa trains its cabin crew efficiently and cost-effectively, with a clearly measurable return on investment. “VR training for flight attendants is a huge cost saver”, says Björn Eckermann of Lufthansa Aviation Training. 20,000 flight attendants go through the training every year. It is the first VR training approved by the German Federal Aviation Authority and was awarded the German Excellence Award 2020 in the Training & Education category.

VR training for flight attendants is a huge cost-saver. Using hand tracking instead of controllers was a crucial component in developing an effective and certified VR training program for cabin crew.

Björn Eckermann, Lufthansa Aviation Training

The Federal Aviation Authority is rightly cautious when approving innovative training programs, because human lives are at stake. Therefore, it is a great success and a major step toward immersive training that Lufthansa Aviation Training from NMY has been approved as the first VR training program in aviation.
