Softeksim

What Softeksim does

Softeksim is a privately held Latvian aviation simulation developer headquartered in Riga, operating since approximately 2006. The company designs, manufactures, and delivers certified flight simulation training devices—primarily FNPT II-compliant fixed-base simulators such as the Tecnam P2006 simulator, the Generic Turbofan Flight Simulator STS-001, and the newly announced FNPT II P-Mentor—targeting enterprise customers in the aviation training sector, chiefly flight schools and aviation training institutions. It is expanding its product surface to include cabin crew simulation systems with virtual reality integration, as announced alongside its 20th anniversary in April 2026.

The company monetizes through one-time sales of simulators combined with professional services revenue from on-site modernization and upgrade work performed at customer locations. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting aviation training institutions, with a documented track record of multi-year partnerships that convert initial deliveries into repeat simulator orders and recurring modernization engagements—the EASBCN relationship in Barcelona, initiated in 2015, now spans four ordered simulators and has accumulated more than 17,000 flight hours on a single unit. Softeksim is a small organization (11-50 employees) with no publicly disclosed funding, ownership structure, or revenue figures.

Broad incumbents

• TRU Simulation + Training: TRU Simulation + Training (a Textron Aviation company) manufactures both full-flight simulators and lower-fidelity training devices. TRU is a broader incumbent serving commercial, military, and general aviation training markets, overlapping with Softeksim in pilot training equipment.
• FlightSafety International: FlightSafety International is a major provider of professional aviation training and manufactures high-fidelity flight simulators. As a broad incumbent with extensive training center operations, it competes with Softeksim for the same training institution procurement budgets at the higher end of the fidelity spectrum.
• CAE Inc. CAE is the world's largest civil aviation training organization and a leading manufacturer of full-flight simulators. While Softeksim operates at the lower-fidelity FNPT II end and CAE dominates high-fidelity FFS, both serve the same aviation training institutions and are competing for the same customers' training equipment budgets.
• L3Harris Commercial Aviation Solutions: L3Harris's Commercial Aviation Solutions division produces flight simulation and training devices for airlines, training centers, and aircraft manufacturers. It competes with Softeksim in the aviation training equipment market with broader scale and product depth.

Direct peers

• ALSIM: ALSIM is a French/European manufacturer of FNPT II/MCC and FTD simulators primarily targeting flight schools. Like Softeksim, ALSIM competes in the lower-fidelity training device segment and serves a similar European flight school customer base.
• Entrol: Entrol is a Spanish flight simulator manufacturer producing FNPT II and FTD devices for flight schools globally. The Spanish base and similar product focus make it a direct regional competitor to Softeksim, particularly for customers in Iberian and European markets.
• Frasca International: Frasca is a US-based manufacturer of flight training devices, including FNPT and FTD simulators for flight schools. Frasca is the closest like-for-like competitor to Softeksim in terms of size, product category (FNPT-level training devices), and customer base (flight schools and training academies).

Emerging players

• Sim-Industries: Sim-Industries is a European-based provider of flight simulation hardware and training solutions serving aviation training markets. It is comparable to Softeksim as a smaller competitor with overlapping pilot training device offerings.
• Bihrle Applied Research: Bihrle Applied Research develops flight simulation software and training systems, including research-grade simulation platforms. It overlaps with Softeksim in flight simulation technology and aviation training applications.
• Ryan Aerospace: Ryan Aerospace is an Australian flight simulator manufacturer focused on affordable training devices for flight schools. Like Softeksim, it targets the lower-fidelity segment with smaller, deployable simulators for emerging and regional flight training markets.
