This spring, I exchanged a series of messages with Mario Ackerman, Brunner’s enthusiastic sales manager, inviting me to a “not to be missed” event, to be held at the Lufthansa Training Center (LAT).
I was skeptical. There’s so much hype in the market about ‘revolutionary’ products, most of which aren’t. And Brunner volunteered no details.
Yet I was intrigued. So I hopped on a train from Geneva to Zurich Airport, where Mario retrieved me and drove to LAT, a spacious facility which houses full-flight simulators for Airbus and Boeing types, a couple of helicopter models, and assorted other training devices for pilots, cabin crew and ab initio cadets.
