Czech Republic – Global aviation training provider CAE and Air Navigation Services of the Czech Republic (ANS CR) have announced plans to jointly modernize Air Navigation Services (ANS) training across Europe. The collaboration aims to establish a scalable, future-ready training ecosystem through integration of CAE’s advanced learning technologies and ANS CR’s operational excellence.

• The partnership will be delivered through the Czech Aviation Navigation Institute (CANI), ANS CR’s training arm, recognized for its dual EU and ICAO alignment in air traffic controller training.

• The initiative is designed to address regional and global challenges in ANS, including increased air traffic, regulatory evolution, and controller workforce shortages.

• Training will be delivered using CAE’s adaptive learning, AI-powered digital assessment, immersive simulation, and instructor development frameworks, leveraging CAE’s European training infrastructure.

• The ecosystem will also include portable and regional training centre models, improving accessibility and responsiveness to customer needs across Europe and beyond.
