Flightbase Zurich Airport: Airbus A320 Flight Simulator at Zurich Kloten Airport

Flight Simulator Zurich Airport — Airbus A320 at Flightbase, Kloten

Flightbase operates one of Switzerland’s most distinctively located Airbus A320 simulator experiences — directly at Zurich Airport in Kloten, the country’s largest and busiest international aviation hub. Every day, hundreds of Airbus A320 family aircraft take off and land at Zurich Airport on Swiss, easyJet, Lufthansa, British Airways, and dozens of other carrier services. At this simulator, you sit in an identical cockpit just metres from those runways, guided by real active A320 airline pilots who fly the same aircraft on real commercial services.

The simulator has a 4.9/5 rating from recent reviews, with participants consistently praising the quality of the cockpit, the professionalism and warmth of the instructors, and the uniquely immersive context of flying an A320 at the very airport where real A320s are operating on the other side of the terminal building.

The Airbus A320 Simulator

The simulator features a detailed cockpit with fully functional instruments and buttons — an authentic representation of the Airbus A320 flight deck used by Swiss International Air Lines, easyJet Switzerland, and Edelweiss Air crews at Zurich Airport every day. Sessions cover takeoff, cruise, approach, and landing at Zurich or any airport worldwide. On request, emergencies can be simulated — engine failures, hydraulic issues, and ECAM procedures — making this suitable for aspiring pilots wanting serious practice as well as first-timers wanting a memorable experience.

The flight time can be shared between up to three people in a group flight, and up to two additional spectators can join at no extra charge. Instructors are real, active Airbus A320 airline pilots — not simulator technicians or experience guides, but professionals currently flying the aircraft on scheduled services.

What Reviewers Say

Recent reviews describe the experience in vivid terms. An experienced PC sim pilot described it as “a truly realistic experience” where the instructor conducted landing drills under various conditions, giving tips he took home. A family described their 13-year-old grandson’s reaction as pure delight. A first-timer described instructor Thomas’s introduction and guidance as “fantastic.” The consistent thread across reviews is that both complete beginners and experienced home sim enthusiasts leave equally satisfied — the experience scales genuinely to both.
