“This partnership agreement is a resounding endorsement of CAE’s leadership in the pilot training industry - from pilot creation to recurrent training, to experienced pilot placement. CAE will recruit and train more than 1,000 aspiring pilots through the launch of the new Generation easyJet Pilot Training Programme, a pathway for ab-initio student pilots to develop the competencies needed to be an easyJet pilot. At CAE, we train pilots better and more effectively through cadet programs like this one, and we will continue to work with our partners to implement innovative and industry-leading solutions to support the imperative need for commercial pilots in Europe and around the world.’’
