Loft Dynamics Brings Virtual Reality Pilot Training to South Asia with Indocopters
The Indian subcontinent’s largest specialist helicopter MRO will use Loft Dynamics’ VR H125 simulator to expand training access and extend its safety role from aircraft readiness to pilot readiness as Airbus H125 activity grows
ZURICH, Switzerland and GREATER NOIDA, India, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Loft Dynamics, the leader in virtual reality (VR) pilot training, today announced that Indocopters Private Limited will install the first Loft Dynamics Airbus H125 TXi VR full-motion simulator in India. The installation will create South Asia’s first dedicated H125 VR training site, expanding pilot training capacity across the region.
For Indocopters, the leading specialist helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organization in the Indian subcontinent, the installation marks a natural extension of its safety role. The company supports operators across the region, helping keep helicopters airworthy, available and mission-ready. With Loft Dynamics’ simulator, Indocopters will also help prepare the pilots who fly them.
The installation also comes as Airbus Helicopters and Tata Advanced Systems begin producing the H125 in India at the country’s first private-sector helicopter final assembly line in Vemagal, Karnataka. More than 80 H125 aircraft are already in service across India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and as more enter service, operators will need pilot training infrastructure that can scale with the fleet.
“The H125 is the backbone of multi-mission helicopter operations across the Indian subcontinent, supporting missions ranging from utility and corporate transport to emergency medical services, disaster response and high-altitude operations, often within the same fleet,” said Ajay Shah, CEO of Indocopters Private Limited. “These demanding missions therefore require a very high level of pilot preparedness. The Loft Dynamics H125 flight training device will enable us to deliver realistic, safe and repeatable training for critical scenarios such as emergencies, adverse weather, confined-area landings and high-altitude operations. This project reinforces our commitment to enhancing pilot proficiency, improving flight safety and advancing helicopter training standards in the country.”
“The next leap in aviation safety will not come only from better aircraft. It will come from giving pilots better ways to prepare,” said Sebastien Borel, CEO of Loft Dynamics. “Advanced helicopter simulation has spent too much time out of reach — something pilots had to travel to, schedule around and use too rarely. That model does not match how operators fly today. Indocopters’ investment shows where the industry is going: toward training that sits closer to the fleet, happens more often, reflects real missions and helps operators build readiness before the aircraft ever leaves the ground.”
