AirAsia-CAE Asian Aviation Centre Of Excellence

CAE and AirAsia expanded their previous Type Rating Training Organization (TRTO) partnership into a joint venture agreement in 2010 to provide training for pilots, cabin crew, maintenance engineers and technicians, and ground services personnel for airlines throughout the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region. The joint venture is also responsible for the complete training of all of AirAsia’s pilots, cabin crew and maintenance and ground services personnel.

The Asian Aviation Centre of Excellence (AACE) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, currently includes six CAE-built full-flight simulators (FFSs): four FFSs for the Airbus A320 and one each for the A330/340 and Boeing 737 Classic. The training centre is located near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Low Cost Carrier Terminal, Sepang.
