Qantas And CAE Open New Sydney Training Center

Partnered On Purpose-Built Facility To Train Qantas And Jetstar Pilots

Qantas Group and CAE jointly announced the opening of a new state-of-the-art pilot training facility in St. Peters near the Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (IATA: SYD, ICAO: YSSY) in Australia.

The facility was developed by a partnership between Qantas and CAE, and is now home to five full-flight simulators, three fixed-training devices, and ten classrooms. Additional batches of equipment will be delivered in the coming months and years, including Australia’s first Airbus A350 simulators to train Qantas pilots on the ultra-long haul Project Sunrise flights.

The opening marks the return of flight training to Sydney for the Qantas Group after it had relocated the simulators to Melbourne and Brisbane in 2021 to make way for the NSW Government’s Sydney Gateway road project.

Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace noted the new facility is key to Qantas maintaining its 50-year history of training pilots in Sydney.

Mr. Wallace said, “Qantas is proud of its strong safety culture and the skill and expertise of our pilots have long been recognised globally. This new facility is a key part of ensuring that these high standards continue across our next generation of aircraft and aviators in this country.

“We have more than a hundred new aircraft on order for Qantas and Jetstar which create significant opportunities for our people and Australia’s aviation industry, and the huge demand for crew training will be supported by the new flight training centre and our partners at CAE.

“Sydney will be the anchor city for our Project Sunrise flights when they launch and our pilots will train for their flights here in the facility once the A350 simulator arrives.”
