MEBA10: ECFT celebrates two coups

ECFT is also adding a new Bombardier Challenger 604 full-flight simulator to its offering.

Gainjet’s president Ramsey Shaban said: “Safety and flexibility are essential for the on-demand nature of our business. We have been impressed with the safety-enhancing simulation technology that CAE brings to the training suite and ECFT’s willingness to adapt to Gainjet’s training requirements and crew schedules.”

CAE also provides Gainjet with training on the Embraer Phenom 100 aircraft at Embraer-CAE Training Services in Burgess Hill, UK, and the Gulfstream G200 at the CAE North East Training Center in Morristown, New Jersey.

Camille Mariamo, managing director ECFT said: “Gainjet has a strong reputation for safety, training and customer service. Their customers include heads of state as well as world-class athletes and entertainers.”

Meanwhile, operators flying the CL604 will soon be able to train in Dubai. The CAE 7000 Series Level D FFS is due to come online in the first half of 2012.

Mariamo added: “Business aircraft fleets and crew needs are expected to double over the next five years in the Middle East and neighbouring regions. With the addition of the Challenger 604 FFS, ECFT will offer our clients training on 25 business aircraft.”
