"Jet Aviation is very pleased with its association with Emirates-CAE Flight Training for their BBJ pilot training programme," said Captain Herbert Naef, Jet Aviation Chief Pilot. "Through this association, Jet Aviation reaffirms its presence and commitment to the aviation industry in the Middle East."

Jet Aviation will join numerous other business jet operators whose pilots are being trained on the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) by Emirates-CAE Flight Training.

Located at the Dubai Airport Free Zone, the state-of-the-art training facility, was recently inaugurated by Emirates' Chairman, HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, and Gary Scott, Group President Civil Simulation & Training, CAE.

Mr Scott said: "This partnership is an important step for aviation training in the Middle East.  Our collaboration with Jet Aviation is a strong indication of the high standard of training now accessible to business aircraft operators in the Middle East."

Emirates-CAE Flight Training, formed in July 2001 under an agreement between the two companies, operates two Level 'D' Full Flight Simulators (FFS), an Airbus A319/320/ACJ and a B737NG/BBJ.

The facility will expand into a new 14-bay building, opening later this year near Dubai International Airport.

Jet Aviation's US, Europe and Middle East aircraft management and charter divisions jointly operate a fleet of more than 150 aircraft.

The Emirates Group comprises Emirates Airline, Dnata, the largest travel services provider in the Middle East, and a number of commercial relationships. Emirates, one of the world's fastest-growing airlines, operates a fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, which boasts an average age of just three years.

CAE is a global leader in providing advanced simulation and controls equipment and integrated training solutions for customers in the marine, military, and civil aviation markets.  With annual revenues in excess of $1 billion, CAE employs more than 6,000 people in Canada, the United States and around the globe.
