CAE announced last week the expansion of its pilot training capacity in Japan with the inauguration of its first Airbus A320 full-flight simulator (FFS) deployed at JAL - CAE Flight Training (JCFT), the joint venture between CAE and Japan Airlines, in Tokyo.

The ceremony was held on Friday, September 21st at the training centre located at Haneda Airport and was attended by Japan Airlines, AirAsia Japan, Jetstar Japan and CAE executives.
