Babcock Canada and Leonardo Canada have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to jointly pursue Canada’s Future Aircrew Training Program (FAcT) and to create a Canadian joint venture. The Canadian government is seeking to procure a comprehensive aircrew training program that provides aircraft, ground based training systems, civilian instructors, as well as other essential services, such as air traffic control, aircraft and airfield maintenance, accommodation, and food services for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The 20-year contract is expected to be awarded in 2023.

Babcock and Leonardo can offer a modern and comprehensive solution drawing on their experience as providers of civil and military fixed-wing, rotary-wing and mission training services. The companies stand ready to offer an innovative and comprehensive turnkey solution to meet all of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s training requirements.

Leonardo can cover the entire pilot training syllabus, allowing the training syllabus to be tailored to air force requirements. A complete Ground Based Training System (GBTS), which is integrated with the platforms, able to ensure both high-quality training and strong operating efficiency, complements the aircraft. Platforms and systems offer customers worldwide a turnkey training solution that can guarantee high-quality standards at every training stage. With a long heritage and its expertise in military pilot training, Leonardo has built about 2,000  trainers that have been sold to more than 40 countries.

From basic to advanced flying training for air forces, navies and armies, Babcock delivers technical instruction across multiple locations and aircraft types. Whether it is providing technical training instruction, developing training materials or maintaining critical training assets, Babcock is trusted by its customers to deliver training solutions.

Babcock Canada and Leonardo Canada are strongly committed to building a strong Canadian Team reinforcing their existing long-term relationships and partnerships with the Canadian Government and Canadian industries.
