In a world first Emirates, one of the world\u2019s fastest growing airlines, has opened an indoor aviation themed attraction in London.<\/p>\n
London\u2019s newest public attraction, the Emirates Aviation Experience, is the first of its kind globally. The Emirates Aviation Experience, located at the South side of the Emirates Air Line in London, covers an area of almost 300 square metres and will provide an insight into the operations and modern achievements of commercial air travel.<\/p>\n
A rendering of the exterior of the Emirates Aviation Experience \u201cThis high-tech facility will bring to London a one of a kind insight into the dynamic world of aviation,\u201d said Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline. \u201cThe purpose of this centre is to provide a fun, yet educational, overview of just what it takes to successfully get a 560 tonne aircraft off the ground and 40,000 feet into the sky. Our aim is to explain the intricate science of modern aviation, in a hands-on, entertaining and instructive environment.\u201d
\n\u201cLondon is one of the greatest cities in the world, with one of the world\u2019s busiest international airports, making it the perfect setting for this interactive experience. We have successfully operated services to the UK since 1987 and, when opened, the Emirates Aviation Experience will further broaden our already robust UK presence. Being able to provide London and its millions of international visitors with this permanent site is a true reflection of our commitment to innovation and also of our commitment to the UK,\u201d added Mr. Clark.
\nUtilising state-of-the-art technology, interactive displays and life-size aircraft models this immersive experience will incorporate several zones that will take visitors on an interactive aviation journey.
\nThe Emirates Aviation Experience will also feature the world\u2019s first public facing commercial flight simulators including two Airbus 380s and two Boeing 777s, utilising full landscape visuals, allowing participants to practice their take-off and landing skills. The centre will cater to people of all ages and is open for business.<\/p>\n
Entry costs \u00a33 for adults, \u00a31.50 for children, but that doesn\u2019t include a go on the flight simulator. The simulator is \u00a342 for a half-hour flight, or \u00a335 if you go before 10am.<\/p>\n
Emirates has a strong affiliation with this area of London following the launch of the Emirates AirLine, London\u2019s popular cable car system across the River Thames, in a 10 year sponsorship deal last June. One year on from the launch of the Emirates AirLine the Emirates Aviation Experience is expected to further stimulate tourism and development in the area.<\/p>\n
