CRJ And Challenger 800 Aircraft Included In The Pact
An agreement has been reached between Bombardier and training
services provider FlightPath International (FPI) of Toronto for FPI
to provide entitlement and recurrent technical training for
Bombardier’s CRJ Series commercial aircraft and Challenger
800 Series business jets. Bombardier has delivered more than 1,600
CRJ Series aircraft (including corporate variants).
Under the agreement, Bombardier and FPI will collaborate to
identify and realize opportunities to enhance technical training
solutions for Bombardier customers. FPI will provide instruction at
Bombardier training facilities or at customers’ facilities,
as required. FPI has been licensed to use Bombardier's training
methodology, courseware and tools, and the instructor-led classroom
training will continue to be supported by desktop simulation, which
introduces a fully functional simulated aircraft cockpit into the
classroom environment.
“Our CRJ and Challenger 800 Series aircraft customers will
continue to have access to high quality training opportunities on a
more frequent basis,” said James Hoblyn, President, Customer
Services & Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft, Bombardier
Aerospace. “We are extremely pleased to have FPI supporting
our CRJ Series and Challenger 800 Series aircraft
customers.”
“FPI believes that high-quality technical training is
fundamental to increased safety and lower operating costs for
operators," said Andrew Lucas, President, FlightPath International.
"We are committed to working closely with Bombardier to deliver the
superior standard of training services that operators of CRJ Series
and Challenger 800 Series aircraft have come to expect.”
