Porter and Embraer CAE Training Services have expanded the airline’s pilot training operations with the deployment of an Embraer E195-E2 full-flight simulator (FFS) at CAE’s Montreal training centre.
Comprehensive initial and recurrent training for E2 pilots will be delivered in Montreal, with the simulator will enhance Porter’s E2 pilot training program by increasing capacity to meet the demand for its expanding fleet - 46 aircraft have already been delivered, with up to 100 expected.
“This partnership with ECTS brings together three leading aviation organizations,” said Kent Woodside, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Porter Airlines. “CAE’s expertise in training and simulation technology ensures our pilots receive the highest quality and safety standards for our pilots operating Embraer’s latest E195-E2 model.”
This deployment will enable more Porter pilots to train closer to home, supporting the airline’s growth and contributing to the development of skilled aviation jobs in Canada.
