Briefing
Riyadh Air's purchase of two A321neo 7000XR full‑flight simulators, alongside CAE's ongoing training of its Boeing 787 crews, signals the carrier is establishing type‑specific training capacity ahead of aircraft entry into service; this follows Riyadh Air's first 787 lease.
The deal expands CAE's regional footprint and highlights growing demand for operator‑dedicated simulators and training services; CAE has recently supplied an A320neo full‑flight simulator to Cathay and is preparing type training for other new entries such as the Bombardier Global 8000.
