In 2001, CAE and Emirates, the international airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), established a joint venture to build and operate a new aviation training centre in Dubai, the fastest growing economic hub in the Middle East and the gateway between Europe and Asia.
Today, Emirates-CAE Flight Training (ECFT) has established itself as a first class aviation training centre in the Middle East – a centre that boasts expertise, know-how and a unique approach to customer service.
Offering training for both commercial airlines and corporate aircraft operators, ECFT trains pilots, maintenance technicians, and cabin crew, and attracts clients from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. The centre is the only aviation training facility outside of Europe and North America to be approved by both the FAA and the JAA.
