Bombardier Appoints Authorized Training Providers for CSeries Training Worldwide

Farnborough Airshow - Bombardier today announced at the Farnborough
International Airshow that it has appointed Flight Training Alliance (FTA), a
newly formed joint venture between CAE and Lufthansa Flight Training (LFT), as
its exclusive Authorized Training Provider for CSeries aircraft pilot and cabin
crew training worldwide. Bombardier also announced Lufthansa Technical Training
(LTT) as its exclusive Authorized Training Provider for maintenance training on
the all-new CSeries aircraft worldwide. 


Flight Training Alliance will support Bombardier's CSeries aircraft
entry-into-service by providing comprehensive pilot and cabin crew training to
CSeries aircraft customers and operators worldwide. It will leverage and deploy
training programs in the CAE and LFT networks and will take advantage of the
global networks and instructional delivery from both partners to support
customer requirements. 


"CSeries aircraft operators will have access to the very best in training as FTA
combines the strengths - operational expertise, in-depth instructor and
courseware development know-how, technology leadership and global reach - of two
industry-leading collaborators," said Michel Ouellette, President, Customer
Services and Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft, Bombardier Aerospace. "Both
CAE and LFT are longstanding Bombardier partners and will provide the best
training solution for the CSeries aircraft, during the entry-into-service phase
and for ongoing support over the aircraft's life cycle." 


"We are proud to continue to grow our partnership with Bombardier in order to
support the CSeries aircraft entry-into-service training program," said Marc
Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer of CAE. "Our joint venture with
LFT will provide a best-in-class training solution for the new CSeries aircraft,
leveraging the core expertise of two world leaders in simulation and training." 


"By combining the specific strengths of the joint venture partners it is now
possible to set new standards in training for our customers worldwide," said
Florian Hamm, Lufthansa Flight Training CEO. 


"This additional building block in our growing relationship with Bombardier
makes us proud," said Andreas Kaden, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa
Technical Training. "We are convinced our international network of technical
training facilities will enable CSeries aircraft operators to build up their
technical capabilities. We will support them to ensure the flawless introduction
of this new aircraft type in their fleets." 


As Authorized Training Provider for maintenance training for the CSeries
aircraft, Lufthansa Technical Training (LTT) will be handling worldwide
manufacturer type training courses for technical aviation personnel. Through its
expertise and its experience as a recognized training provider, LTT will also
support Bombardier in the development of EASA-approved courseware. 


The first simulator and training program deployments will be ready prior to
entry-into-service of the aircraft, starting with the Bombardier training centre
in Montreal where CAE has built the world's first CSeries aircraft simulator.
Additional deployments will follow in Europe, North America and Asia. The ATP
agreement is subject to anti-trust approval in China.
