Jordanian operator Arab Wings has signed a five-year agreement with Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT) to extend its training programme with ECFT from three to 11 aircraft types. “We have had a very productive relationship with ECFT for the last four years,” says CEO Ahmad Abu Ghazaleh. “Based on the strength of our experience we were very comfortable expanding the relationship to the rest of our fleet and consolidating our entire training under one provider.”

Adds ECFT managing director Walter Visser: “We are proud to expand our partnership with Arab Wings. We look forward to continuing to provide the high quality training and customer service it has come to expect over the course of this agreement.”

ECFT will be providing training services on 11 different aircraft types including models for Bombardier, Gulfstream, Cessna, Hawker and Embraer. Training will be carried out across five locations in CAE's global network: Dubai, Burgess Hill in the UK, Copenhagen, Dallas and Madrid.
