So we re particularly pleased to have sited our three training centres in such appealing locations. Zurich and Munich are justly reputed for their high quality of living and their delightful surroundings; and Frankfurt is one of Europe s most vibrant metropolises, with a host of cultural attractions. Zurich: a Swiss city renowned worldwide SAT s Zurich training facilities are adjacent to Zurich Airport. As well as air services to destinations all over the world, the airport also offers a fabulous range of smart shops and a wide choice of restaurants and cafés, and is an ideal starting point for excursions near and far. Zurich is the capital of Canton Zurich. The city stands on the River Limmat, where it flows out of Lake Zurich. The largest city in Switzerland with a current population of around 390,000, it s a thriving cultural centre, and is frequently voted one of the world s most desirable cities to live in. Zurich today boasts not only numerous museums, theatres and concert halls but some 500 bars, nightclubs and discos, too. The city is also home to both Zurich University and one of Switzerland s two prestigious Federal Institutes of Technology, the ETHZ, which produced seven Nobel science laureates between 1975 and 2002 alone. Munich: Germany s highest quality of living Lufthansa s Munich Flight Training Center is located conveniently close to Munich Airport. SAT operates an Embraer 170/175/190 full-flight simulator here, and offers type training that is closely and carefully aligned to the specific wishes and needs of each airline customer. Munich, with its population of some 1.4 million, is considered to have the highest quality of living of any German city. The capital of Bavaria (and the state s biggest city), it is home to numerous national and international authorities, key institutes of science and technology and major theatres and museums. With its wide range of sights, international sports events, trade shows and congresses and its legendary Oktoberfest beer festival, Munich attracts large numbers of visitors every year. It s also one of Germany s most economically successful and fastest-growing cities.

With its central location, it s a key European traffic hub and a major industrial, trade fair and services centre, and plays an equally vital role in Germany s financial sector.
