We got an email from CAE explaining there will be an EMB145/Legacy 600 Simulator beginning operation in October. Taking provisional bookings for then, pending the sim evaluation and qualification.
CAE Dallas also has a sim that has moved down from Phoenix and recently up and running. I know that they do ratings under FAA, Aussie, UAE, Chinese authorities etc. Not sure about EASA.
FSI has sims in Paris and a Legacy sim in St Louis. They can perform both EASA and FAA qualifications. The thing with FSI is it is quite costly unless you sign up for a contract option. I.e an initial followed by 1 or 2 recurrent training events.
Swiss can give EASA only. I believe the Air Baltic option is actually conducted at the Swiss facility using Swiss instructors. Also costly for 1 pilot, however I believe if you have 2 pilots on a course the cost for 1 course is split between the 2 pilots. It's that way for recurrent training anyway.
For a 1 off type rating, I think CAE is the best option cost wise.
