easyJet has appointed Spatial to deliver a pair of A321 semi-automatic over wing exit trainers to their UK training centres in anticipation of their upcoming aircraft deliveries. The compact devices will be the first to offer training on this new Airbus door type, for which easyJet will be a lead customer.

Marc Van den Broucque, Managing Director at Spatial said:

“We are delighted to be working with easyJet on this exciting project, which reflects our ability to deliver innovative products within challenging deadlines without compromising on the quality and reliability standards on which our reputation is built.”

The devices will be operational in early 2018.
