To meet the need of easyJet, CAE will build a new training center in London-Gatwick with a dedicated area for easyJet and CAE will install nine Airbus A320 7000XR simulators and three 600XR motionless simulators. easyJet will be the launch customer for the 600XR and the amount of this contract is $ 170 million.

 

CAE has entered into an agreement for the recruitment and training of 80 student pilots with Vueling. CAE is already partnering for Vueling pilot training and this new four-year agreement covers the recruitment and training of cadets pilots who will be offered a job at Vueling at the end of their 18-month training. This new mandate allows CAE to expand its basic training services at its Madrid center.

Starting in 2020, CAE will be responsible for initial type training, qualification and recurrent training on the CRJ-900/1000.
