New Partnership Aims to Reshape ANS Training

CAE and the Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic (ANS CR) are working together to advance and modernize air navigation services (ANS) training across Europe. The partnership will combine CAE’s aviation training capabilities with ANS CR’s operational expertise and the Czech Aviation Navigation Institute’s (CANI) training programs to create a scalable training ecosystem.

“The aviation industry is in a period of rapid growth and evolving demands, creating opportunities to rethink training capacity and workforce development,” said Marie-Christine Cloutier, CAE’s Vice President, Performance, Strategy and Marketing. “Our objective is to modernize and enhance accessibility to essential training infrastructures by leveraging CAE's European network to support Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) across Europe and around the world.”

The initiative aims to address industry challenges such as increased air traffic, regulatory changes, and workforce shortages. It introduces a flexible training framework that incorporates advanced technology, regional training centers, and mobile training solutions.

With CANI’s dual EU and ICAO training alignment, the plan to partner is positioned to serve European customers while supporting international ANSPs seeking training within Europe. Integrating CANI’s methodologies with CAE’s technologies, including AI-based adaptive learning and digital assessment, the collaboration is expected to support updated curricula, immersive environments, and instructor development.
