CAE has sold two full-flight simulators, one for the Airbus A380 aircraft and one for the Boeing 777, to longtime customer Emirates airline. Emirates is the world's largest operator of both aircraft types. CAE announced the sale today at the Dubai Airshow. The contract is worth a total of more than C$34 million at list prices, and brings the total number of FFS sales that CAE has announced to date during fiscal year 2012 to 21.

Adel Al Redha, Emirates Executive Vice President, Engineering and Operations said that CAE simulators deliver the technology advantage that "consistently keeps our pilot training program at peak quality."
