Emirates and CAE today formally opened their modern pilot training facility at Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline and Group, unveiled a plaque at an event attended by customers and officials.

The new facility will initially house five full-flight simulator training bays with three already installed, substantially increasing the region’s pilot and technician training capacity.

The simulators offer “breakthrough visual realism, cockpit replication and high-fidelity avionics simulation with flight and ground-handling characteristics indistinguishable from an operational aircraft”.

The centre also features 10 briefing rooms, three classrooms and a hi-tech computer-based training room.

The centre is the second training centre owned and operated by Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT) in Dubai, complementing the one in Al Garhoud.

Completed last month, the 55,000sq ft centre brings Emirates and CAE’s joint investment in the region to over $260 million in the last 10 years.
