Low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific and CAE have announced at the Singapore Airshow that they have extended their longstanding Training Service Agreements (TSA) covering pilot training for the Airbus A320 and ATR 72-600 platforms.
Training for A320 pilots has been extended through to 2037, strengthening Cebu Pacific’s long-term access to industry-leading pilot training. ATR 72-600 pilot training has also been renewed, ensuring continued support for the airline’s turboprop operations.
“Extending our training services agreements with CAE underscores Cebu Pacific’s commitment to safety, operational excellence and long-term growth,” said Javier Massot, Chief Operating Officer of Cebu Pacific. “As we continue to expand our fleet and network, it is critical that we invest in world-class pilot training to support a strong and sustainable pipeline of aviation professionals. Our longstanding partnership with CAE ensures our pilots are equipped with the highest standards of training as we scale our operations across the region.”
According to the 2025 CAE Aviation Talent Forecast, the Asia-Pacific region will require around 98,000 new commercial pilots over the next decade to support fleet growth and replace retiring crew. As one of the region’s fastest-growing airlines, Cebu Pacific is preparing for this rising demand, and the renewal of these agreements secures long-term access to high-quality training solutions that support its expanding pilot pipeline.
Cebu Pacific and CAE have partnered in aviation training for more than a decade. Since establishing their joint training centre in Clark in 2011, the two organisations have worked together to deliver world-class training, support fleet expansion, and contribute to the development of aviation professionals in the Philippines and across the wider Asia-Pacific region.
