CAE has opened its 50,000-square-foot training facility at Las Vegas' Clark County Airport.
The facility can run up to eight flight simulators (FFS), with room for one more after seven have been put into operation. In place are simulators for the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream's G650, G550, GIV and GV. The Embraer ERJ145, and, from April 2023, the Phenom 300E, are among the seven on site.
"The inauguration of CAE Las Vegas is another significant milestone in the expansion of our business aviation training network, bringing CAE closer to customers on the West Coast and beyond," said Marc Parent, CAE's president
"Offering a strategic location, an attractive business environment, and a highly specialised workforce, Nevada is the perfect location for CAE's first west coast business aviation training centre. We are proud to officially call the Silver State home, and we are grateful to Nevadans for their support and warm welcome," said Parent, who is also chief executive.
