SkyAlyne Awards CAE Contract For Future Canadian Aircrew Training

Contract Worth $1.7 Billion For State-Of-The-Art Training

CAE announced it signed a 25-year subcontract valued at $1.7 billion with SkyAlyne, a joint venture between CAE And KF Aerospace, to provide modern, state-of-the-art training for the Royal Canadian Air Force. (RCAF).

CAE, as the major subcontractor to the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT program, will deliver comprehensive aircrew training including ground school training, live flying, and simulation. Through this, CAE’s long-standing presence at 15 Wing Moose Jaw will be extended. CAE currently operates the NATO Flying Training in Canada program.

SkyAlyne brings together Canadian defense and aviation companies CAE and KF Aerospace in a joint venture to provide the RCAF with turnkey training delivered by a single provider. It combines the expertise of both companies’ longstanding RCAF pilot training programs and also expands capabilities for Air Combat System Officers and Airborne Electronic Sensor Operators under a new and cost-effective single entity for aircrew training.

Marc Parent, CAE’s President and CEO said, “The FAcT program launches a new era in Canadian military aircrew training, and CAE is proud to be delivering advanced products and services that will enable the most extensive training system recapitalization ever undertaken by the RCAF.”

He continued, “For more than 75 years, CAE has put the readiness and safety of military pilots and service members at the forefront of its training and simulation development. With FAcT, our priority will be to ensure the RCAF has the depth and the technical advantage it needs to support the mission readiness of Canada’s next generation of military personnel.”
