CAE signs new five-year training agreement for AirAsia’s A330 long-haul pilots:

28 March, 2019: CAE has signed a five-year training agreement for AirAsia’s long-haul pilots. The agreement extends the use of the CAE Rise training system to AirAsia’s long-haul affiliate, AirAsia X, on the Airbus A330 platform. From July 2019, CAE will provide initial training for the airline’s pilots and will soon undertake recurrent training at CAE’s training centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“The extension of the CAE Rise system to the Airbus A330 platform recognises our commitment to providing world-class training for our pilots,” said Captain Desmond Voo, AirAsia X’s Chief Pilot Training and Standards. “We’ve embarked on a mission to digitise every aspect of our business, and by implementing CAE Rise we’re able to better train and develop our pilots using real-life scenarios and data. This will ensure we can continue to provide the highest training standards to our pilots.”
