First Facility In Montreal In Collaboration With NAV CANADA
CAE, well-known provider of aviation training for pilots, aircraft maintenance technicians, and cabin crew, announced its first venture into training of air traffic controllers (ATC) and flight service specialists (FSS), opening its first Air Traffic Services (ATS) Training Center at its campus in Montreal, Canada, in collaboration with NAV CANADA.
The first students began their training at the new facility in October 2024 as CAE plans to train about 500 air traffic professionals by 2028. Instructors deliver initial training for ATC and FSS students using the curriculum and courseware provided by NAV CANADA. NAV CANADA will continue to provide its basic training, specialty courses, and on-the-job training, the latter of which will only be offered by NAV CANADA.
Mark Cooper, President and CEO of NAV CANADA said, "Air travel is a cornerstone of Canada’s social and economic vitality, with NAV CANADA positioned at the crossroads of international traffic, connecting communities and businesses globally. This partnership with CAE exemplifies our dedication to operational excellence, ensuring safe and efficient air navigation while preparing for the future of aviation through innovative training and collaboration."
Marc Parent, President and CEO of CAE said, “We are thrilled to officially inaugurate CAE’s first ATS training centre in collaboration with NAV CANADA. As an innovator in aviation learning sciences, CAE is perfectly positioned to partner with NAV CANADA and other Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to meet the increasing global demand for air traffic services personnel and train the highly skilled professionals they need to manage air traffic safely.
“This is an extension of CAE’s core mission to make the world safer, and as a pilot, I can attest to the critical importance of the communication between flight crew and the air traffic personnel who play an essential role in the safety of every flight.”
