CAE and Riyadh Air today announced an agreement for the purchase of two cutting-edge Boeing 787 CAE7000XR full-flight simulators (FFS) and a Boeing 787 flight training device (FTD) in order to support the new airline as it continues its journey towards takeoff in 2025.
Tony Douglas, Riyadh Air CEO said, “By placing such an important order to fulfil our simulator requirements and create a roadmap for our pilot training, Riyadh Air is achieving another critical milestone on its journey towards its first flight. CAE is a world-renowned provider of technology for pilot training, and we are looking forward to having our simulators in our state-of-the-art new facility at the Prince Sultan University in Riyadh where they will inspire the next generation of aviators in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
