Under the agreement, Jazz maintenance training programs will be licensed to CAE and deliverable anywhere in the world, expanding CAE’s commercial type training program portfolio.

“CAE aligned itself with Jazz because of their significant operational know-how that brings line-experience to the programs and in turn to CAE customers,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Products and Training & Services. “We continue to expand our maintenance training portfolio to provide our clients with increasingly complete and integrated training solutions to meet all their training requirements.”
