Dubai to expand Sim facilities
Emirates, the international airline of the UAE, and CAE of Canada, today (14th July 2001) signed an agreement to build and jointly operate the new Emirates Aviation Training Centre in Dubai.
The centre will be located adjacent to the existing Emirates training facility and will house six Full Flight Simulators (FFS), including a Boeing 737-NG, an Airbus A319/A320 and A330/340. The initial investment under the ten-year agreement is approximately Dhs365 million (US$100 million), with equal participation by Emirates and CAE.
The new centre is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2003. Beginning in early 2002, interim training will be provided to anchor customers at a transitional facility in Dubai.
