Embraer and CAE are launching a new pilot training programme for the Embraer E-Jet E2 family of commercial aircraft. Training is set to begin at the Singapore-CAE Flight Training Centre in December 2023.

The new training programme will include the deployment of a state-of-the-art E-Jet E2 full-flight simulator (FFS). The partners intend to expand the training programmes to strategic locations within CAE’s global network over time, supporting aircraft deliveries.

“We are delighted to build on our offering and introduce the E2 pilot training programme to support the growing number of APAC operators embracing the latest generation of platforms,” said Johann Bordais, President and CEO, Embraer Services and Support. “We are more than ever committed to providing high-quality training programmes available in locations close to our E-Jets E2s’ operators.”

“Adding the E-Jets E2 platform to our existing joint venture is a natural next step in the partnership CAE and Embraer have built over the last 16 years,” added Michel Azar-Hmouda, Vice President, Commercial Aviation Training, CAE. “Launching the new programme in Singapore brings E2 training closer to our APAC customers and ensures their pilots are ready to take flight as E2 jets join their fleets.”
