Saudi Airlines takes A330/340 CAE simulator

CAE has sold a CAE 7000 Series Airbus A330/A340 convertible FFS to Saudi Arabian Airlines (SVA), the national airline of Saudi Arabia, as well as an enhanced CAE Simfinity Airbus Pilot Transition (APT) trainer. The simulator and APT trainer will be delivered to the Prince Sultan Aviation Academy in Jeddah in 2011.

"With a changing fleet, the training concepts and equipment must be updated to take advantage of more modern technology," said Captain Hamood Al-Amri, General Manager of the Prince Sultan Aviation Academy. "CAE's simulation equipment has proven to be highly innovative and reliable in helping SVA keep our pilots at peak performance."
