Asia Airline Growth is Boon for Training Companies
Simulator centres are sprouting around Singapore and across the Asia-Pacific region.
Haite Aviation Training’s Boeing B737-800W full-flight simulator is based on a CAE 7000-series device. It’s configured to simulate CFM56-7B-27 powerplants of 24,000 to 27,000 lbs of thrust.

Singapore is rapidly becoming the epicenter for civil flight training in Asia. The Competition Commission of Singapore last week approved the proposed joint venture between Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Canadian simulator manufacturer CAE (Stand U87) to offer pilot training for Boeing aircraft types. Two years ago, SIA opened a similar JV with Airbus (Stand J23), the aircraft manufacturer’s largest training center. The recently formed Boeing Global Services (Stand S23) has its own seven-bay simulator facility bordering Changi Airport. And China-based Haite Aviation Training (Stand H75) in 2015 launched a $70-million, 21,000-square-meter (226,000-square-foot) facility at Changi Airport Business Park. CAE also now owns 100 percent of the Asian Aviation Centre of Excellence in Singapore, formerly a JV with AirAsia.
