Simulator

In February 2000, Cargolux introduced its own B747-400F full-flight simulator in Luxembourg. It is the world's first dedicated B747-400F freighter simulator.
The Cargolux B747-400 simulator is available for third-party training.
If required, the simulator can be customized to closely resemble the customer's aircraft variant.
