About CAE
CAE is a Montreal company, founded in 1947, that builds flight simulators and trains pilots, cabin crews and defence teams around the world. Its simulators recreate flying so realistically that crews can practise rare emergencies safely on the ground.
Most travellers never see CAE, but there is a good chance the pilots on their flight trained with its technology. It is one of the pillars of Montreal's aerospace sector and a major local employer for engineers and technicians. For anyone curious about aviation careers, it is a name worth knowing in Quebec's tech story.
