Grand Prairie is also home to Airbus Helicopters’ 84,000-square-foot parts warehouse. It has a $170 million inventory, with Airbus offering 24/7 access to customer support.
In 2020, Airbus Helicopters will be opening a state-of-the-art helicopter simulation center in Grand Prairie in partnership with Helisim and Thales. The facility will add the first-ever H145 Level D
simulator in North America to the current training systems that include an H125/ AS350 full flight simulator and H135/H145 flight training device. An H160 full flight simulator is also planned to arrive in the new building once the helicopter enters service in North America.
