CAE will train Stobart Air pilots on new full flight simulators for the latest ATR 72-600.
CAE is expanding pilot training across Europe with new airline contracts and new equipment for two new aircraft entering into service – the ATR 72-600 and Embraer 195.
Stobart Air, based in Ireland, and Brussels Airlines are the new contracts. To fulfill them, CAE has installed new ATR 72-600 and A320 full-flight simulators and updated training equipment to the latest standards in Madrid, Spain; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and London Gatwick, United Kingdom.
“CAE places such great importance on supporting the various growing training needs of our airline customers around the world,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions.
“I’m pleased that we have signed new training services contracts and invested in our training network to better serve our existing and future customers. This is part of our commitment of being the training partner of choice.”
