CAE, InterGlobe Enterprises, and Airbus held a ground breaking ceremony for a new pilot and maintenance technician training centre in Delhi, India’s National Capital Region. The CAE-Interglobe joint venture is expected to start offering pilot and maintenance training solutions in 2013 and will eventually be able to train up to 5,000 pilots and technicians annually for airlines in India and the neighbouring region.
The new Delhi centre will be located on 3.5 acres in the Greater Noida Industrial Area about 40 kilometres southeast of Delhi. The focus of the new Delhi training centre will be to provide “wet” and “dry” type-rating, recurrent, conversion and jet indoctrination training for commercial aircraft pilots. Programs will also be offered for maintenance technicians. The Delhi training centre will initially house four full-flight simulators and will be capable of expansion to eight simulator bays. Advanced training technology will be used such as CAE Simfinity multimedia classrooms, computer-based training and brief/debrief facilities.
