<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\u201cWe are thrilled to officially inaugurate CAE\u2019s first ATS training centre in collaboration with NAV CANADA. As an innovator in aviation learning sciences, CAE is perfectly positioned to partner with NAV CANADA and other Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to meet the increasing global demand for air traffic services personnel and train the highly skilled professionals they need to manage air traffic safely,\u201d said CAE President and CEO Marc Parent. \u201cThis is an extension of CAE\u2019s core mission to make the world safer, and as a pilot, I can attest to the critical importance of the communication between flight crew and the air traffic personnel who play an essential role in the safety of every flight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Air travel is a cornerstone of Canada\u2019s social and economic vitality, with NAV CANADA positioned at the crossroads of international traffic, connecting communities and businesses globally,\u201d said Mark Cooper, President and CEO of NAV CANADA. \u201cThis partnership with CAE exemplifies our dedication to operational excellence, ensuring safe and efficient air navigation while preparing for the future of aviation through innovative training and collaboration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAE\u2019s first partnership in the air traffic services sector is with the world\u2019s first fully private ANSP, and second largest in terms of the size of its airspace, NAV CANADA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first students began their training at the new facility in October 2024, with CAE aiming to train approximately 500 air traffic professionals by 2028. CAE\u2019s instructors deliver initial training for air traffic controllers and flight service specialists to students coming from across Canada using NAV CANADA\u2019s training curriculum and courseware. NAV CANADA will continue to deliver basic training, all specialty courses, and on-the-job training, with the latter part of Air Traffic Services training solely offered by NAV CANADA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are very proud of this first partnership with NAV CANADA and are excited to help them train more air traffic controllers and flight service specialists over the coming three years,\u201d said Marie-Christine Cloutier, Vice President – Strategy, Performance & Marketing at CAE and Head of CAE\u2019s new Air Traffic Services (ATS) division. \u201cAs ANSPs accelerate their airspace modernization efforts, it is critical that equal emphasis is placed on training innovation to prepare the next generation of air traffic personnel. CAE\u2019s turn-key expertise in competency-based training design, advanced instructional delivery, and data-driven technologies can support ANSPs in this transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAE has extensive experience and a strong understanding of global regulatory requirements, enabling the expansion of Approved Training Organizations across various authorities. The company intends to leverage its existing global footprint of over 70 facilities on five continents and expand its infrastructure to incorporate ATS training wherever there is demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
