What Hype is tracking

  • Increases in‑house A320neo simulator capacity to raise pilot throughput and preserve operational readiness as Cathay expands and renews its narrowbody fleet; see the Air India–Airbus 50:50 hub to train 5,000+ pilots for scale context: https://hype.aero/?story=bdde809e-e096-43d4-a8b8-d80fd300ecc2
  • Reinforces CAE's role and the trend of airlines partnering with training providers to secure simulator time and long‑term training capacity, as seen in CAE partnership projects like the WestJet–CAE Alberta training centre: https://hype.aero/?story=21f41cf5-c45d-4276-9d6b-8d343d60d966
  • Reflects a wider industry push to localise type‑specific simulator capability to support fleet integration and recurring training, similar to recent A320/A350 simulator commissions: https://hype.aero/?story=35a3b6e1-5e35-4ba4-a59e-d2b9a65cd829
