Horizon Air selects VRpilot for E175 virtual reality procedure training
Horizon Air, part of Alaska Air Group, has selected Danish supplier VRpilot to deliver an interactive procedure training solution for their Embraer E175 flight crew training using virtual reality (VR).

Daniel Maass, CEO, VRpilot: ”VRpilot is proud to strengthen our ties with Alaska Air Group by delivering efficient and modern training resources to Horizon Air, aiding them in transitioning to operate a pure E175 fleet. We are looking forward to providing Horizon Air with the benefits of our VRflow procedure training platform.”
