Diamond Sponsor at APATS Expands Pilot Training Centre

CAE, in partnership with InterGlobe Enterprises, announced the opening of a new pilot training centre in Mumbai, India. The 44,000-square-foot facility will accommodate up to six full-flight simulators and will begin operations in the first quarter of 2026 with two Airbus A320 simulators.

“The new Mumbai centre expands CAE’s ability to meet the rapidly growing demand for professional pilots in India – as many as 20,000 over the next 10 years,” said Michel Azar-Hmouda, CAE’s Division President, Commercial Aviation. 

The Mumbai centre will offer DGCA-approved pilot training programs on Airbus, ATR, and Boeing aircraft, including type rating, recurrent training, and proficiency checks. CAE currently operates three other centres with a combined capacity of 23 simulators.

Aditya Pande, CEO of InterGlobe Enterprises, said, “We are delighted to expand CAE into Mumbai, in addition to our commercial aviation training centres in Greater Noida, Gurugram and Bengaluru. InterGlobe Enterprises and CAE are committed to building an ecosystem in aviation which will cater to the growing current and future demand for training pilots in India.”
