Crece tráfico aéreo entre Santiago y Sao Paulo
May 20, 2013
De acuerdo al informe entregado por la Junta de Aeronáutica Civil de Chile (JAC), el tráfico áereo entre Santiago y Sao Paulo a marzo del presente año ha experimentado un alza de un 40% con respecto a igual mes del 2011, lo que ubica a la ciudad brasileña en el segundo lugar, muy cerca de la ruta Santiago-Buenos Aires.-
Sin embargo, Buenos Aires paulatinamente ha ido perdiendo sus preferencias para el público viajero debido a las restricciones cambiarias que el gobierno argentino aplicó el año pasado, entre las que se mencionan el freno a las compras de dólares y el impuesto de un 15% al uso de tarjetas de crédito en el extranjero emitidas en la Argentina.-
Por otra parte, Sao Paulo se ha transformado en una muy buena alternativa para conecciones a diversos puntos del Brasil y a Europa, superando a Buenos Aires.
CAE first to offer maintenance training on new Dassault Falcon 2000 LXS and 2000S aircraft platforms
May 20, 2013
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND–(Marketwired – May 20, 2013) – (NYSE:CAE)(TSX:CAE) – CAE today announced at the European Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (EBACE) that it is the first to offer maintenance training on the new Dassault Falcon 2000 LXS and 2000S aircraft platforms, including EASy II.
Maintenance training on these platforms is supplemental to initial Dassault Falcon 2000 EX EASy certification and curriculum includes additional model-specific content. The solution is also mobile with the possibility of training being delivered at the customer site using CAE’s mobile Simfinity(TM)-based classroom which reduces travel expenses.
“By working closely with Dassault, we are continuously refining our training programs in order to enhance the safety and efficiency of Dassault Falcon operators every day,” said Rob Lewis, CAE’s Vice-President and General Manager, Business Aviation, Helicopter and Maintenance Training.
Maintenance training on these platforms complements CAE’s EASy II pilot training offering, which was recently qualified to Level D, making CAE the first training provider to deliver training with the latest EASy II avionics for the 7X and 2000 EASy series.
In early 2013, Dassault awarded all CAE business aviation training centres worldwide a Falcon Training Policy Manual (FTPM) certificate, which validates that CAE is delivering superior quality training services for Falcon pilots and maintenance personnel. The FTPM is the highest level attainable by a Dassault Authorized Training Provider (DATP).

First A350 XWB painting completed in Toulouse
May 13, 2013
Painting of the first A350 XWB “MSN001” was today fully completed as it emerged in its Airbus livery out from the paintshop in Toulouse. This latest milestone shows that MSN001 is progressing well on its route to first flight.
The aircraft painting was achieved in less than seven days and follows the recent completion of MSN001’s flight-test-instrumentation (FTI) verification. Last month the aircraft underwent its engines installation, and passed a subsequent intensive phase of ground vibration tests. MSN001 will soon start the final tests before its maiden flight this summer.
