easyJet and CAE have launched a new training program at its CAE Center in Milan: the MPL Multi-Crew Pilot License.

The first batch of students have been welcomed to the training center in Italy, which was officially opened in October 2019. CAE and easyJet formed an exclusive long-term pilot training agreement in November 2018.  

The CAE Milan training centre currently operates three CAE 7000XR Series Airbus A320 FFSs equipped with the CAE Tropos 6000XR visual system, and the 600XR Airbus A320 flight training device (FTD) equipped with CAE Tropos 6000XR collimated visual system and a fully enclosed instructor area.

easyJet became the first airline company to train its pilots on the CAE’s 600XR FTD, adding flexibility to the airline’s training curriculum.

In addition to training all easyJet’s pilots, CAE also provides cadet training for easyJet in its European aviation academy network in Brussels, Madrid, Oslo and Oxford.
