What’s on has details of A380 flight experience – one of the new indoor things to do in Dubai.


Hot on the heels of the Emirates A380 Experience in Dubai Mall comes another flight simulator – iPILOT – this time located in Magic Planet, City Centre Mirdif.

Budding pilots can learn how to fly one of the world’s largest passenger planes within a realistic simulator where they’ll sit in an enclosed cockpit accompanied by an instructor. You’ll learn the basic operating procedures before being able to take off or land at any one of the 24,000 airports worldwide.

Omar El-Banna, Sales and Marketing Director at Majid Al Futtaim- Leisure & Entertainment, said:  “Our newest partner, iPILOT is an exciting new attraction that complements Magic Planet’s diverse mix of family-oriented leisure pursuits. ”

iPILOT was founded in 2009 by German entrepreneur and amateur pilot Wolfram Schleuter and has grown to nine locations in five countries.

Experiences at iPILOT start at Dhs270 and the attraction is open to individuals or for team building activities.
