Flight training operator scaling XR simulation and data analytics across 12 European locations
Lufthansa Aviation Training operates a continent-wide pilot and cabin crew training network built on SAP S/4HANA and Power BI. The hiring mix—skewed toward operations (9 roles) with smaller engineering (5) and training (3) teams—reflects a maturing, process-driven organization shifting from manual scheduling toward automation. Active projects in extended reality cabin training and data-driven controlling signal a move to reduce labor intensity in simulator operations and improve capital efficiency across the fleet.
