German doctors are using Airbus' A380 emergency evacuation trainer in Toulouse, France for in-flight emergency medicine courses as part of a programme organised by the Swiss training company Medifan in partnership with Lufthansa. Participants practice emergency medical scenarios that may occur during flight, and familiarize themselves with the A380's cabin environment ahead of Lufthansa's introduction of the new jetliner.
