CAE India

CAE India functions as a primary provider of flight simulation technology and civil aviation training services within the South Asian market. The organisation operates as a subsidiary of the Canadian CAE group, positioning itself as a central hub for pilot training and technical support for flight simulators. It serves as a tier-one service provider to commercial airlines, offering both the physical training infrastructure and the software systems required to maintain aircrew certification and safety standards. The organisation manages multiple training centres across the country, most notably through its joint venture with IndiGo and its involvement with the National Flying Training Institute. Key programmes focus on type-rating and recurrent training for mainstream narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, including the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 series. It further supports the Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation through public-private partnerships aimed at increasing the domestic output of commercial pilots. Prospective partners should verify the specific certification levels of the flight simulation training devices (FSTD) available at each location, as these must align with DGCA or EASA standards depending on the operator's requirements. It is also necessary to confirm the specific aircraft variants supported at individual facilities and the current availability of simulator hours for third-party wet or dry lease arrangements.
