Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Financing is a major barrier to becoming a pilot. CAE's partnership with financial institutions will help aspiring pilots finance their studies and make their dreams come true. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the aviation industry, CAE foresees significant demand for new commercial pilots over the next 10 years. Because it takes approximately two years to become a qualified airline pilot, this funding program will ensure that we can meet the demand for pilots when the industry recovers. As the global training partner of choice, we are pleased to be able to make it easier for aspiring pilots to train with us."
