As one of the world’s leading training and simulator providers, CAE (Booth P98) already operates more than 300 of its own full-flight simulators (FFSs) in 70-plus locations. CAE’s announcement on Monday at EBACE concerning the creation of a new training center in Vienna, Austria, highlights the company’s push to expand its training capacity in the business aviation sector. While the Vienna center will increase capacity in Europe, CAE is also expanding in other regions.
Recently, a new center opened in Singapore with a Gulfstream G650 simulator and additional services are to be added soon. The company’s Las Vegas facility is now operational providing instruction on the Gulfstream IV, V, G550, and G650; Bombardier Global 7500; and Embraer ERJ-145 and Phenom 300. A new facility is going live in the late third quarter at the Simcom Lake Nona training center in Orlando, Florida. This 12-bay training center will have G650, Bombardier Challenger 350, and Phenom 300 full-flight simulators, but also adds a Challenger 3500 sim and two for the Embraer Praetor 600.
