Has Been Awarded 31 New Contracts So Far In FY2009
CAE announced this week it recently won contracts to design and
manufacture five full-flight simulators (FFSs) and associated
training devices valued at approximately C$60 million at list
prices. The contracts are with Continental Airlines, Air China, and
Shandong Airlines, and now bring the total FFS sales announced so
far in fiscal year 2009 to 31.
"We are pleased airlines around the world continue to trust
CAE's true fidelity simulation equipment to support their pilot
training programs," said Marc Parent, CAE's Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer. "We have the industry's most
comprehensive portfolio of simulation products and training
services, and remain confident that we can offer cost-effective
solutions to address the specific training needs of our
customers."
Continental Airlines has ordered a comprehensive suite of Boeing
737 Next-Generation (NG) simulation equipment, including two FFSs
and a flight training device (FTD). The two CAE 7000 Series FFSs
along with the FTD will be delivered to Continental's training
centre in Houston in 2009. Continental is taking delivery of new
Boeing 737NG aircraft over the next several years for greater fleet
flexibility and operational efficiencies as it replaces less
efficient 737 Classic aircraft.
Air China, the flag carrier of the People's Republic of China,
and Shandong Airlines have jointly ordered three CAE 7000 Series
full-flight simulators (FFSs): two Boeing 737-800 FFSs and one
Airbus A320 FFS. One Boeing 737-800 FFS and the A320 FFS will be
delivered to Air China's training centre in Beijing in the first
half of 2010. The other Boeing 737-800 FFS will be delivered to
Shangdong Airlines training centre in Qingdao in 2010.
All three simulators will feature the CAE True electric motion
system and CAE's next-generation visual solution, including the CAE
Tropos-6000 image generator and liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS)
projectors.
