Le Bourget, France – June 17, 2009- (NYSE:CGT; TSX:CAE) – Today at the International Paris Air Show, Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT) announced the signing of a five-year contract with new Dubai-based carrier flydubai for initial and recurrent pilot training for the airline’s fleet of Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft.

The training program at the Dubai centre will include simulator training on ECFT’s Boeing 737-NG Level D full-flight simulator as well as enhanced crew resource management (CRM) and classroom-based training, which includes safety and emergency procedures (SEP) training, reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM), dangerous goods and jet orientation general operating subjects (GOS).

“ECFT will offer flydubai a customized solution combining simulator and classroom training aimed at efficiently preparing the airline’s pilots to operate the new aircraft,” said Walter Visser, Vice President and Managing Director, ECFT. “By leveraging CAE’s entire solutions portfolio, ECFT offers best-in-class training services designed to maximize an airline’s safety and operational efficiency.”

“Training our pilots near our base of operation is of utmost importance to us as it significantly reduces travel related to training and in turn helps improve our cost-effectiveness,” said Ghaith Al Ghaith, CEO of flydubai. “Not only will our pilots train close to home, but they will benefit from ECFT’s latest world-class technologies and programs.”
