CAE Simulation Training Private Limited, a joint venture between InterGlobe Enterprises and CAE, announced today the opening of a new state-of-the-art pilot training centre in Mumbai, India. The new 44,000 square-foot centre will have a capacity for up to six full-flight simulators and will begin operations in the first quarter of calendar 2026 with two Airbus A320 FFS.
Michel Azar-Hmouda, CAE’s Division President, Commercial Aviation commented: “The new Mumbai centre expands CSTPL’s ability to meet the rapidly growing demand for professional pilots in India – as many as 20,000 over the next 10 years. The addition to the new six-bay centre in Mumbai reflects our commitment to bringing world-class training closer to India’s aviation hubs and enhancing training excellence and operational efficiency for our airline partners.”
Aditya Pande, CEO, InterGlobe Enterprises, stated: “We are delighted to expand CSTPL into Mumbai, in addition to our commercial aviation training centres in Greater Noida, Gurugram and Bengaluru. InterGlobe Enterprises and CAE are committed to building an ecosystem in aviation which will cater to the growing current and future demand for training pilots in India.”
CAE’s 2025 Aviation Talent Forecast predicts a demand for 98,000 new pilots in the Asia Pacific region by 2034. In one of the fastest-growing aviation markets globally, CSTPL’s Mumbai centre will play a critical role in supporting airlines and the broader aviation ecosystem with high-quality, DGCA approved training.
In addition to the new centre in Mumbai, CSTPL currently operates three commercial aviation training centres in Greater Noida, Gurugram and Bengaluru with a capacity to operate up to 23 FFS. The new CSTPL centre in Mumbai will also offer comprehensive pilot training programs on Airbus, ATR and Boeing aircraft, including type rating, recurrent training, and proficiency checks.
