SATS has opened the SATS Immersive Centre at its Airfreight Terminal in Singapore to prepare aviation professionals for increasingly complex airport operations. The facility uses immersive simulation, including VR-based airside training, to strengthen safety, operational readiness and workforce capability.
Both new and experienced staff can practise individually or in teams. High-fidelity simulations cover aircraft turnaround coordination, airside safety procedures and cargo handling operations, recreating situations that are difficult to practise safely during live operations.
The centre was developed in conjunction with Singapore Polytechnic, with grant support from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. The partnership combines applied research and student innovation with hands-on training for future aviation professionals.
