The Dubai-based Emirates Airlines is set to train its next batch of nearly 4,000 cabin crew members in the metaverse. The move could ease the pressure by taking some in-person training sessions into the metaverse.
Speaking at the Dubai Metaverse Assembly last week, the chief operating officer (COO) of Emirates, Adel Ahmed Al Redha, explained that the A350 commercial aircraft is being configured in Humboldt, USA. The metaverse and virtual reality would be used to simulate walking into the aircraft and analyzing every detail.
Adel Ahmed Al Redha announced:
We used metaverse, virtual reality and walked into the aircraft and looked at every detail, every gap in the aircraft, whether it is in the galley or with the seats. We have configured an aircraft and what we see there today is exactly what we’ll see in 2024.
However, the trainees will still have to attend the airline’s state-of-the-art aviation training college in Dubai to complete practical hands-on sessions such as aircraft evacuation, ditching, and medical emergency scenarios.
The crown prince of Dubai, Hamdan bin Mohammed, also attended the Dubai Metaverse Assembly.

At the same time, the economy ministry of UAE was reportedly setting up a shop inside the immersive virtual world that is now taking shape. Speaking at the Dubai Metaverse Assembly held at Dubai’s Museum of the Future, Abdulla bin Touq al-Marri, UAE’s Minister of Economy, said:
We trained our employees to really immerse themselves in the metaverse, use the metaverse and engage with the Generation Z that is going to come.
Al Marri further added that organizations and employees in Dubai had been trained to immerse themselves in the metaverse, use the metaverse and engage with the Generation Z that is going to come.
