CAE Highlights Latin America Training Capabilities
While Latin American and Brazil in particular aren't growing training markets, CAE remains committed to the region.
CAE’s Sao Paulo Guarulhos training center features training on the Embraer Phenom 100 and 300 light jets. It focuses on both initial and recurrent training on the aircraft.

“I’m encouraged by the signs of improvement we continue to see with increasing business jet utilization,” Marc Parent stated in a Q&A with investment analysts in May. The CAE President and CEO suggested looking beyond improving statistics, which show year-over-year global increases of more than 6 percent. “Utilization of business aircraft itself doesn’t give you the whole story. I think you’ve got to look at other metrics that tell us that there’s still a lot of growth potential to bring us back to anywhere near where we were prior to 2008. For example, prior to 2008, business jets were operating north of 500 hours a year, and now they’re operating about 300 to 350 hours a year. So if you get to any kind of higher utilization for aircraft, that will have a pretty significant impact, because obviously, you need more pilots.”
