written by Newsdesk | November 4, 2024

Eve Air Mobility has chosen Embraer-CAE Training Services to provide training for its electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft program.

The agreement covers training for pilots, maintenance technicians and ground handling personnel as part of Eve’s TechCare service portfolio.

Eve Vice President of Customer Services Luiz Mauad said the partnership would ensure safe operations.

“This partnership not only underscores our commitment to safety and operational excellence but also equips our and operators’ teams with the necessary skills to offer outstanding customer service,” Mauad said.

The joint venture between Embraer and CAE, formed in 2007, operates nine full-flight simulators globally.

CAE’s Division President Alexandre Prevost highlighted safety as crucial for advanced air mobility adoption.

“CAE continues to make significant investments in AAM to deliver innovative and immersive products and training solutions that are specifically tailored to the industry and today’s learners,” Prevost said.

Eve has secured letters of intent for 2,900 eVTOL aircraft from 30 customers across 13 countries, potentially worth US$14.5 billion.

The aircraft features eight rotors for vertical flight and fixed wings for cruising, powered by dual electric motors.

The program leverages Embraer’s 55-year aircraft manufacturing experience and global support network.

The training services venture recently launched its first E2 full-flight simulator in Asia, with more simulators planned for 2025.
