AirAsia India, a joint venture with Tata Sons and AirAsia Investment Limited has announced its collaboration with CAE for the integration of the CAE Rise Training System into AirAsia India’s simulator training program for pilots. AirAsia India is the first airline in India to adopt a data-driven training program by using the CAE Rise system. CAE is a Canadian manufacturer of simulation technologies.
“This collaboration uniquely incorporates CAE’s distinct features, which enable a more robust data-driven training program for our pilots,” said Capt. Manish Uppal, Head of Operations, AirAsia India. “At AirAsia India, we continue to be at the forefront of integrating technology and ensuring that safety is paramount in every aspect of our training and operations,” he further added.
As long-time collaborators, AirAsia and CAE have worked together since 2014 on pilot training at CAE network training centers. CAE Rise leverages analytics to deliver a higher quality of training. It also provides real-time data during training sessions while giving instructors insights that enable them to objectively assess a pilot’s technical competencies and performance.
