The contracts are worth a total of more than C$120 million (approx $101 million U.S.) at list prices, and bring the total number of FFS sales announced in fiscal year 2015 to 31. List prices include the value of OEM aircraft-specific data, parts and equipment (DP&E), normally procured by CAE in the manufacture of its simulators. In the case of these contracts, some customers are providing part of the OEM content.

The contracts include the sale of:

• One Bombardier Challenger 604 simulator to Cobham Aviation Services of Australia

• One Boeing 787-9 simulator to Air China
• One Boeing B737-800W and one Gulfstream 650 FFS to Emirates-CAE Flight Training
