Training provider CAE has been
awarded contracts to design and manufacture three full-flight
simulators (FFSs) and associated training devices valued at more
than C$40 million at list prices. The contracts are with Saudi
Arabian Airlines and the Hua Ou Aviation Training Centre in
Beijing, China. CAE has announced so far a total of 26 FFS sales in
fiscal year 2009.
"CAE's innovation and flexibility, as well as our commitment to
work closely with our customers, allows us to find ways to address
their specific training needs," said Marc Parent, CAE's Executive
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We are uniquely
positioned to create value for our customers as we offer the
industry's most comprehensive portfolio of simulation products and
training services."
Saudi Arabian Airlines has ordered two CAE 7000 Series Airbus
A320 FFSs, a CAE Simfinity Airbus A320 Level 5 flight training
device (FTD), and suite of CAE Simfinity Airbus Pilot Transition
(APT) trainers and Airbus Competence Training (ACT) classrooms for
the A320, A330 and A340 aircraft. The training solutions will be
delivered in 2009 to the Prince Sultan Aviation Training Academy in
Jeddah.
"Saudi Arabian Airlines continues to grow and expand their
operations and we are pleased they have selected CAE's true
fidelity simulation equipment to support their Airbus pilot
training program," said Marc Parent.
The Hua Ou Aviation Training Centre, a joint venture of Airbus
and the China Aviation Supplies Holding Company (CAS), has ordered
a CAE 7000 Series Airbus A330/340 convertible FFS. The simulator
will be convertible to five types of A330 and A340 aircraft,
including the A330-200 with three different engine types, the
A340-300 and the A340-600. The simulator will be delivered in 2009
to the Hua Ou Aviation Training Centre in Beijing, China.
The Hua Ou Aviation Training Centre operates as one of the
official Airbus Training Centres, providing a range of training
services to airlines operating Airbus aircraft. The centre offers
