ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE: CAE; TSX: CAE) – CAE and Abu Dhabi Aviation Training Centre (ADATC) announced today having received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Part 142 training on a new Embraer ERJ 145 full-flight simulator (FFS).

“Receiving certification for training is always an important milestone. We’re delighted that our latest Embraer ERJ 145 full-flight simulator is now ready-for-training to support FAA operators,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. “We look forward to offering outstanding customer training experiences to operators in collaboration with ADA long into the future.”
CAE and ADA share a relationship that spans over a decade. Together they deliver world-class training, supporting ADA and other regional operators’ training needs through CAE instructor-led training, comprehensive courseware, and innovative training equipment.
