Nediar: Enabling Cost-Effective Cabin Crew Training

The importance of a well-trained cabin crew and the value they impart to any airline company cannot be overemphasized. Be it for delivering commendable customer service or handling emergencies in a well-prepared manner, cabin crew ought to be adequately trained. What’s challenging for airline companies, however, is the procurement of the vast amount of resources required to deliver effective training. Depending on the type of airplane and the nature of the training required, it can be expensive to conduct training directly in the aircraft. Most often, airline companies don’t have the mock-ups to train and simulate different events on the ground. To this end, Colombia-based Nediar positions itself as a holistic provider of any and all types of cabin crew training resources. An aeronautical company, Nediar leverages cutting-edge simulation tools as well as replicas of airplane components to offer realistic training geared toward a company’s requirements. Saving time and cost associated with training cabin crews, Nediar brings immense value proposition to its clients. “We offer safety, reliability, and training through the use of trainers and simulators to train people in each process while innovating to develop technologies that support aircraft MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul),” says José David Ospina, the CEO of Nediar.

Nediar was founded nearly a decade ago, in light of the growing need of airline companies in Colombia and other Latin American countries for affordable and easier training alternatives that do not compromise on quality. Today, with a steady workforce, Nediar has established itself as a valuable entity in the Latin American aeronautical space. All of Nediar’s products and solutions can be customized as per market requirements and regulations and embrace a modular structure for easy setup while easily integrating with other technologies or peripherals. Ospina mentions an instance to exemplify Nediar’s capabilities in meeting its clients’ unique requirements wherein the company had built a hybrid mock-up to train cabin crews for both Airbus A320 and A330.

Nediar’s airplane parts replicas such as sides and life rafts are ideal for ditching training and simulation of an emergency evacuation. They are specifically designed to withstand prolonged use for training sessions. The company also builds door trainer modules whose dimensions and functioning are based on real characteristics of airplane doors.
