DUBAI --- CAE has secured an order from Dubai`s Emirates airline for the provision of a number of CAE Simfinity three-dimensional trainers. Comprising an Airbus A380 maintenance / flight training device, a Boeing B777-300ER integrated procedures trainer as well as some visual equipment and services, the order is valued at approximately C$5 million at list prices.
The training equipment is slated for installation in Emirates` own dedicated Aviation College in Dubai by mid-2006. Emirates has 45 of the super-jumbo Airbus A380-800 aircraft on order, due for delivery beginning in April 2007.
The announcement was made today during Dubai 2005 - 9th International Aerospace Exhibition at a signing ceremony attended by Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Executive Vice President, Engineering & Operations; and Marc Parent, CAE’s Group President, Simulation Products.
"Emirates continues to expand its route network to meet customer demand. I am pleased that CAE is playing an integral role in our training programs in support of Emirates` expansion plans,” said Adel Al Redha.
“Each new agreement like this serves to further strengthen the bond that already exists between CAE and Emirates,” said Marc Parent.
Under the terms of an agreement signed in July 2004, CAE is the exclusive provider to Emirates of full-flight simulators and flight training devices for 10 years.
Emirates is the world’s second most profitable airline and among the 20 largest. It is based in Dubai, one of the few cities in the world that pursues an open-skies policy, with more than 110 airlines in free and fair competition.
CAE is a leading provider of simulation and modelling technologies as well as integrated training services for commercial and business aviation, and defence customers worldwide.
The company has annual revenues of approximately C$1 billion, with operations and training facilities in 17 countries on five continents.
