AirPoint Katowice: Boeing 737-800 Flight Simulator in the Heart of Silesia

Flight Simulator Katowice — Boeing 737-800 at AirPoint, Uniwersytecka

AirPoint Katowice brings Poland’s leading flight simulator network to the capital of Silesia — operating a Boeing 737-800 simulator at Uniwersytecka 13, one of Katowice’s most central and accessible addresses, close to the Silesian Museum and the city’s revitalised former coal mining district. Open to everyone from the age of 8 with no prior experience required, AirPoint Katowice serves the Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area — one of the most densely populated urban regions in Poland, with over 2 million residents across Katowice, Gliwice, Zabrze, Bytom, Chorzów, and the wider conurbation.

Katowice Airport — Pyrzowice — handles millions of passengers annually on routes to London, Dublin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and dozens of other European destinations, the vast majority of them on Boeing 737 family aircraft. At AirPoint Katowice, those same passengers can step into the cockpit of the aircraft they’ve just flown on.

The Boeing 737-800 Simulator

The Boeing 737-800 simulator at AirPoint Katowice is a faithful reproduction of the real aircraft cockpit — all panels, instruments, and pilot seats looking and functioning exactly as in the actual aircraft. The conventional yoke controls, Boeing logic systems, and full instrument suite are all operational, combined with a 180° projection system using three Full HD projectors delivering immersive photorealistic visuals across more than 24,000 airports worldwide.

Katowice Pyrzowice is a natural starting point — departing EPKT and flying a route over the industrial and architectural landscape of Upper Silesia before returning for an approach is a distinctive local experience. Alternatively, choose Warsaw, London, Dublin, or any of 24,000 airports worldwide. Your instructor accompanies you throughout in the right-hand seat, guiding every phase of the flight from engine start to touchdown. Up to three companions can join you in the cockpit at no additional charge.

For Pilots — Assessment Preparation

AirPoint Katowice offers structured sessions for pilots preparing for airline assessment profiles, using real-world Boeing 737-800 procedures. FMS Trainer sessions for focused flight management computer work are also available. Contact the Katowice team directly to discuss requirements and scheduling.

Fear of Flying Programme

AirPoint Katowice runs a dedicated fear of flying programme using the Boeing 737-800 simulator — helping passengers understand every phase of commercial flight from the cockpit, with a professional instructor explaining each sensation, sound, and procedure in real time. With Katowice Airport serving as a major departure point for Silesian travellers flying to work and leisure destinations across Europe, this programme has particular relevance for the region’s large population of regular short-haul flyers. Details available on the AirPoint website.

Katowice — A City Transformed

Katowice has undergone one of the most remarkable urban transformations in Poland over the past two decades. The former coal and steel capital of Silesia has reinvented itself as a centre of culture, music, and architecture — home to the Silesian Museum, the NOSPR concert hall, the Spodek arena, and the International Congress Centre. The area around Uniwersytecka 13 sits at the heart of this regenerated city centre, making AirPoint Katowice a natural addition to a cultural day out or a weekend visit to the newly transformed Silesian city.
