Canadian North is thrilled to announce a significant advancement in pilot training within Canada. Our new state-of-the-art Boeing 737NG Full-Flight Simulator (FFS) is set to commence operations in August 2024 at our cutting-edge training center in Edmonton, Alberta.
In response to the growing demand for pilots and the requisite simulator training in Canada, the aviation sector faces considerable challenges. Many training facilities are operating at maximum capacity, prompting Canadian pilots to seek training opportunities in alternate locations, even venturing into the United States.
Canadian North’s latest endeavor directly tackles this pressing issue by augmenting essential pilot training capacity within the country. Nestled within our expansive 30,000-square-foot training facility in Edmonton, our advanced 737NG FFS guarantees convenient access for pilots to crucial training sessions. Whether mastering flight deck protocols, including emergency procedures, or navigating through diverse flying scenarios, this simulator stands as an invaluable resource for pilots to refine and enhance their skills.
“Our investment in the latest Boeing 737NG Flight Simulator in Edmonton, underscores Canadian North’s unwavering commitment to pilot proficiency and safety,” said Shelly De Caria, Canadian North President & CEO. “With this cutting-edge facility, we empower our pilots with the tools they need to continue to safely deliver for our customers.”
“Everything in the aviation industry is done with safety and security top of mind, and increased pilot training is a key element to the success of the industry,” said Myron Keehn, President & CEO, Edmonton International Airport (YEG). “This flight simulator and training centre is a huge milestone for not only the Edmonton Region, but also the industry as a whole, and we’re pleased to be part of this journey with Canadian North.”
With the incorporation of this new simulator, Canadian North will possess the capability to fulfill all its Boeing 737NG training needs, aligning with the Company’s ongoing efforts to enhance and modernize its fleet. Moreover, the facility will boast surplus capacity to accommodate other 737NG operators and airlines.
The establishment of this training facility was made achievable through the invaluable support of Canadian North’s esteemed partners: CAE, Executive Flight Centre, and the Edmonton International Airport.
