Emirates has unveiled plans to open an indoor
aviation themed attraction in London this July.
The Emirates
Aviation Experience will cover an area of almost 300 square metres,
and will provide an insight into the operations and modern
achievements of commercial air travel.
“This high-tech facility will bring to London a
one of a kind insight into the dynamic world of aviation,” said
Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline. “The purpose of this centre
is to provide a fun, yet educational, overview of just what it
takes to successfully get a 560 tonne aircraft off the ground and
40,000 feet into the sky. Our aim is to explain the intricate
science of modern aviation, in a hands-on, entertaining and
instructive environment.”
Utilising state-of-the-art technology, interactive
displays and life-size aircraft models this immersive experience
will incorporate several zones that will take visitors on an
interactive aviation journey.
The Emirates Aviation
Experience will also feature the world’s first public facing
commercial flight simulators including two Airbus 380s and two
Boeing 777s, utilising full landscape visuals, allowing
participants to practice their take-off and landing skills. The centre will cater to people of all ages and will open to the
public in time for the city's peak tourism period this July.
“London is one of the greatest
cities in the world, with one of the world’s busiest international
airports, making it the perfect setting for this interactive
experience. We have successfully operated services to the UK since
1987 and, when opened, the Emirates Aviation Experience will
further broaden our already robust UK presence. Being able to
provide London and its millions of international visitors with
this permanent site is a true reflection of our commitment to
innovation and also of our commitment to the UK,” added Mr. Clark.
