LATAM lengthens CAE training partnership
After 18 years in partnership together, it was an easy decision for LATAM to extend its training arrangements with CAE in South America.

LATAM Airlines Group (LATAM) has agreed another extension of its existing training agreement with CAE, adding six years to this longstanding training partnership. Over the terms of this renewed agreement, LATAM Airlines Group pilots and cabin crew will received training from CAE at training centres throughout its network in South America, including at the recently inaugurated CAE Bogota training centre.

“CAE has been a valued partner over the past 18 years, providing initial and recurrent training for our pilots and cabin crew,” says LATAM senior director of operations Dario Pavez. “With this extended agreement, our crew members will continue to benefit from world-class training.”

CAE's Group President, Civil Aviation Training Solutions Nick Leontidis adds: “We are pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with LATAM Airlines Group until the end of 2030 and we thank them for their continued trust in CAE to provide pilot and cabin crew training at our South American centres. To meet the needs of our airline partners in the region, we have increased our training capacity by 40 per cent over the past two years and we now operate more than 25 full flight simulators at our training centres in four South American countries.”

CAE trains more than 4,000 pilots and 9,000 cabin crew members per year for LATAM Airlines Group at training centres located in the region. The company offers pilot training capacity on Airbus A320, A330/340, A350; ATR 72; Boeing 737, 767, 777, 787; Sikorsky S-76, S-92; Embraer Phenom 100/300; and AgustaWestland AW139 platforms in Bogota, Colombia; Santiago, Chile; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Lima, Peru.
