Eve Air Mobility has selected Embraer-CAE Training Services (ECTS), a joint venture between Embraer and CAE, as the training provider for its eVTOL aircraft pilots, maintenance technicians and ground handling personnel. The services will be part of the recently announced Eve TechCare, the company’s all-in-one service portfolio for eVTOLs.

“We are delighted to partner with Embraer-CAE Training Services, which will ensure pilots, maintenance technicians and ground crew will receive top-notch training for safe and efficient operation of our eVTOL aircraft,” says Luiz Mauad, vice president of customer services. “This partnership not only underscores our commitment to safety and operational excellence but also equips our and operators’ teams with the necessary skills to offer outstanding customer service.”

“We are excited to embark on this journey with Eve Air Mobility to usher in a new era of flight,” adds Carlos Naufel, president and CEO Embraer Services & Support and ECTS chairman. “As the training provider for Eve Air Mobility, ECTS will ensure pilots, maintenance technicians and ground personnel receive specialised training and acquire the skill and confidence to safely operate Eve’s eVTOL in and around the world’s busiest urban centres.”

“Safety will be essential to the adoption and growth of advanced air mobility, and highly trained personnel are key to safe operations,” says Alexandre Prévost, CAE division president, business aviation training and ECTS board member. “As part of the long-term agreement, CAE will be responsible for producing all equipment and courseware for pilot, maintenance and ground handling training for Eve Air Mobility.”

The joint venture between Embraer and CAE, established in 2007, began with a contract to provide pilot and ground crew training for Embraer’s Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 customers. Today, the joint venture operates nine full-flight simulators globally, with more slated for 2025. Earlier this year, it launched the first E2 full-flight simulator in Asia, further strengthening its growth trajectory.

Eve takes advantage of Embraer’s 55 years of experience in designing, certifying and manufacturing aircraft. Its customers will also benefit from having access to an existing global service and support network, which is critical to ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient urban air mobility operations.
