CAE announces the qualification by the FAA and EASA of the world’s first Boeing 777-9 full-flight simulator, located in Boeing Commercial Training Solutions London-Gatwick Campus. This is a significant milestone in aviation training technology and reinforces CAE’s position at the forefront of next-generation simulator development.

The 777-9 simulator program reflects CAE’s long-term commitment to enhancing flight simulation. From concept to certification, the program has been shaped by technical collaboration and a continued focus on delivering industry-leading realism and safety. Developed in close partnership with Boeing, the 777-9 simulator program exemplifies strong co-development, including joint onsite testing. This collaboration ensures a seamless integration of Boeing requirements, aircraft data and training fidelity.

Alexandre Prévost, President, Civil Aviation at CAE commented: “This qualification is the result of a decade of innovation, engineering excellence, and close collaboration with Boeing. We are proud to deliver the world’s first certified 777-9 simulator to Boeing, which will support effective pilot training for years to come.”
