"We are very excited to collaborate with CAE on this innovative program", said Tony Fernandes, AirAsia's Group Chief Executive Officer. "This Next Generation Training System is the stepping-stone to reaching a new level in pilot training efficiency. With CAE being the worldwide training leader, we cannot find a better partner to support us with our training needs and provide us with next-level training solutions."
"We are very proud to launch the validation phase of our Next Generation Training System in partnership with AirAsia", said Nick Leontidis, CAE's Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. "The training needs of our airline partners are driving our training philosophy and as such, we are building the Next Generation Training System to allow them to address the growing demand of professional pilots globally.
