Dubai Facility Expanded, New Training Center Established In
Mexico City
CAE and Bombardier Aerospace announced Wednesday at EBACE that
they have strengthened their long-term relationship. CAE has been
designated as the Authorized Training Provider (ATP) by Bombardier
for the Challenger 605 aircraft in Dubai. The companies will also
be boosting training capabilities for Challenger 605 aircraft
pilots and maintenance technicians at Emirates-CAE Flight Training
(ECFT) in Dubai, UAE, as well as new Learjet 45 aircraft training
at a future location in Toluca, Mexico, near Mexico City. Training
will be offered on both Bombardier platforms beginning in the
spring of 2012.
Challenger 605
Earlier this year, training capability was implemented for
Challenger 300 and Challenger 604 jet operators at the CAE training
centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The first Global Vision
flight deck simulator is also ready for training at the Bombardier
Aircraft Training Centre in Montreal, Canada.
"CAE and Bombardier are committed to delivering the highest
quality of training and a premier level of customer service to
their customers in convenient locations around the world," said
Leon Botteron, General Manager, Bombardier Aircraft Training. "We
look forward to building on our ATP relationship with CAE and
expanding our training solutions to meet the growing demands of our
customer base around the world."
"Bombardier and CAE share a vision for safety and efficiency,"
said Jeff Roberts, CAE's Group President, Civil Simulation
Products, Training and Services. "Through our extensive experience
together across multiple aircraft types, we continue to refine our
training programs to maximize value for pilots and
technicians."
Challenger 604
Bombardier operates two company-owned training centres for both
its business and commercial aircraft in Montreal, Canada and
Dallas, United States. These centres are augmented via an ATP
agreement with CAE, which provides training in Burgess Hill, U.K.;
Morristown, USA; Dubai, U.A.E.; and Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Through this 20-year ATP agreement, CAE delivers world class
training to Bombardier's customers for the following Bombardier
business aircraft types: Challenger 300 and Challenger 604/605
aircraft; Global Express, Global 5000 and Global Express(i) XRS(i)
aircraft; and Learjet 40/40(i) XR(i)/45/45(i) XR(i) aircraft. CAE
is also building a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) for the Learjet 85
aircraft, scheduled for delivery to the Bombardier training centre
in Montreal in 2012.
