- New Embraer E-Jet E2 full flight simulator and pilot
training program to commence in 2023 at the Singapore CAE Flight
Training centre
SINGAPORE, Aug. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) (B3: EMBR3)
and CAE (NYSE: CAE) (TSX: CAE) announced today at the 2023 Asia
Pacific Airline Training Symposium (APATS) that they are expanding
their longstanding joint venture to include pilot and cabin crew
training for the Embraer E-Jet E2 family of commercial
aircraft.
Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS) will launch a new pilot
training program and deploy a state-of-the-art E-Jet E2 full-flight
simulator (FFS) at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre where
training is scheduled to begin in December
2023. E2 pilot and cabin crew training programs will be
gradually expanded to strategic locations within CAE's global
network to support aircraft deliveries.
"We are delighted to build on our offering and introduce the E2
pilot training program to support the growing number of APAC
operators embracing the latest generation of platforms," said
Johann Bordais, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
"We are more than ever committed to providing high-quality training
programs available in locations close to our E-Jet E2
operators."
"Adding the E-Jet E2 platform to our existing joint venture
is a natural next step in the partnership CAE and Embraer have
built over the last 16 years," said Michel Azar-Hmouda, Vice
President, Commercial Aviation Training, CAE. "Launching the new
program in Singapore brings E2
training closer to our APAC customers and ensures their pilots are
ready to take flight as E2 jets join their fleets."
Singapore has been chosen as
the first location due to the growing E-Jet E2 fleet in the
Asia Pacific region. The
establishment of the full flight simulator and pilot training
program enhances Embraer's value proposition in the APAC
region.
ECTS' training solutions are a core offering of the Embraer
Services & Support platform. The platform assembles the entire
portfolio of products and solutions to deliver the best services
and support experience, and leverages the after-sales business to
intensify its presence and enhance support on a day-to-day basis,
generating more value to customers. The E2 training program will
feature CAE 7000XR Series full-flight simulators (FFSs), including
the innovative CAE Tropos™ 6000XR visual system, as well as CAE XR
Series' flight training devices (FTDs).
