Updated 24-February-2010 Source : GAA Press release GAA orders CAE 7000 Series Embraer 170/190 simulator Order replaces A330/340 FFS signed last June.Today at the first-ever Bahrain International Air Show, CAE announced that it has signed a contract amendment with Gulf Aviation Academy for a CAE 7000 Series Embraer 170/190 full-flight simulator (FFS). The contract amendment covers GAA decision to switch an A330/340 convertible simulator ordered from CAE in June 2009 to an Embraer 170/190 FFS.
GAA is fully owned by Mumtalakat the investment arm of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Ahmed Al Rayes, Member of the board Gulf Aviation Academy, and Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services, were on-hand at the Bahrain International Air Show to sign the contract amendment. “I am pleased to announce the acquisition of an Embraer 170/190 simulator for the Gulf Aviation Academy’s new training centre in Bahrain,” said Mr. Ahmed Al Rayes. “We aim to provide top quality, end-to-end aviation training solutions to commercial airlines in the Middle East and North Africa region, and will continue to make investments that meet the growing regional demand for pilot training as well as create job opportunities and financial growth in Bahrain.” The CAE 7000 Series Embraer 170/190 FFS will be delivered later this year to Gulf Aviation Academy’s new training centre, which currently includes a CAE 5000 Series A320 FFS with another CAE 5000 Series A320 FFS to be delivered soon. The Embraer 170/190 simulator, which will be only the second of its type in the region, will feature the CAE Tropos-6000 visual system and CAE True electric motion system. “We are excited to begin a long-term relationship with Gulf Aviation Academy,” said Mr. Roberts. “In the civil aviation market, only CAE offers a diversified portfolio of products, services and capabilities that allow us to tailor a range of aviation training solutions to our customers’ requirements.”  (0) No Comments.
