This holistic training solutions experience reduces the time spent in the classroom and will allow crews to be more productive while ensuring their technical knowledge is maintained at the highest standards.

Vic Charlebois, VP Flight Operations commented, “I have long regarded CAE and Pelesys as premier providers of aviation training solutions. Jetlines is eager to support Canadian aviation and encourage growth in all of our industries. There are notable benefits to using a local Canadian company, one of which is the close collaboration to customize training programs for Jetlines’ procedures, another is keeping our costs down by having simulators locally accessible.”
