MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwire – May 13, 2009) – (TSX:CAE)(NYSE:CGT) – CAE has signed contracts to design and manufacture two full-flight simulators (FFS) and associated CAE Simfinity(TM) training devices for Lufttransport AS and an undisclosed customer from the MENA region (Middle-East and North Africa region). These contracts are valued at approximately C$25 million at list price and include the first two FFS sales that CAE has announced for fiscal year 2010.

“We are delighted that these two first time simulation equipment customers have placed their trust and confidence in CAE for their acquisition of full-flight simulators and related training devices,” said Jeff Roberts, CAE’s Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services. “The CAE 5000 Series simulator has established a new design standard for the industry and will serve as an excellent training tool for their pilot training programs.”

Lufttransport AS, a Norway-based airline that flies primarily air ambulance services has purchased a CAE 5000 Series Beech King Air B200 FFS. This marks the first time Lufttransport has ordered its own simulation equipment, which will be installed in Oslo, Norway. The CAE 5000 Series Beech King Air B200 FFS will be delivered in early 2010 to Lufttransport.

Lufttransport AS, based in Tromsoe Northern Norway and established in 1955, is a specialist in evacuation medical services (EMS/HEMS) on contract with the Norwegian government as well as sea pilot and arctic operations with a modern fleet of both rotary and fixed wing aircraft. Lufttransport in 2009 will operate the largest fleet of new Beech King Air B200 aircraft with the Proline-21 cockpit.

“The acquisition of the brand new CAE full-flight simulator in Norway will mean a giant leap forward for Lufttransport AS in the ongoing search for improvement of flight safety standards through quality training measures as well as emphasizing the role of Norway in flight training,” said Stig Naesh, CEO of Lufttransport AS.

The contract with the undisclosed customer from the MENA region is for a CAE 5000 Series A320 FFS and CAE Simfinity Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) trainers for the A320, A330 and A340 aircraft. The equipment will be delivered later this year.
