Starting next month, Singapore Airlines will train pilots for the Airbus 350, before it takes delivery of its first plane in January.
SIA has ordered 67 A-350s, including seven of the ultra-long-range variant that will fly non-stop from Singapore to the United States.
Up to 100 pilots will be trained in the first three to four months, said the airline.
The training for SIA pilots will be conducted at the Airbus Asia Training Centre (AATC) which is jointly owned by the carrier and the European plane maker.
The facility, currently operating out of SIA's training centre near Changi Airport, will move to its new premises at Seletar Aerospace Park in the first quarter of next year.
When the US$100 million ($139 million) facility is fully operational, it will eventually have eight full flight simulators, including three A-350s.
There are now four simulators, one each for the A-350 and the A-380 and two for the A-330.
