CAE announced today at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) that they have entered into a long-term agreement with Gama Aviation for pilot training services, including e-Learning, on four Bombardier aircraft types - Learjet 45, Learjet 60, Learjet 60XR, and Global Express. The training will be conducted at CAE's aviation training centre in Burgess Hill, UK, near London Gatwick Airport.
