CAE announced that it has signed an exclusive 15-year agreement with the Qantas Group, to develop and operate a new state-of-the-art pilot training centre in Sydney, Australia.
“As the global leader in civil aviation training, we are thrilled to be expanding CAE’s global network to Sydney, Australia to support the Qantas Group, a company that shares our unwavering commitment to safety,” said Marc Parent, CAE’s President and CEO. “As the operator of 50+ civil aviation training centres around the world, CAE is uniquely positioned to provide operational efficiencies to the Qantas Group and deliver an exceptional training experience for their pilots.”
“The Qantas Group has trained its pilots and crew in Sydney for more than half a century. Through this partnership with CAE, we look forward to bringing this critical function back to New South Wales via the new custom-built facility,” said Alan Joyce, Qantas Group’s CEO. “As our international network recovers from the impact of COVID and we grow our fleet, this new training centre will give us the simulator capacity required to train our new and current pilots.”
CAE will operate a new 7,000 square-metre CAE Sydney Training Centre that is slated to open in early 2024.
In addition, CAE will deploy a new A320 full flight simulator and purchase the Qantas Group’s B787, A330, and B737NG full-flight simulators and associated integrated procedures trainers for the new centre. The Qantas Group’s A380 full-flight simulator and emergency procedures equipment will also be relocated to the new CAE Sydney Training Centre, where they will be operated and maintained by CAE. The development is subject to planning approvals, with a submission lodged by LOGOS who will develop the centre in partnership with CAE and the Qantas Group.
With a capacity for up to eight full-flight simulators, the CAE Sydney Training Centre will enable CAE to add more training capacity to address the addition of A350 and A321XLR aircraft to the Qantas Group’s fleet. This new centre will also allow CAE to grow its network capacity to provide training to operators in the region.

Merlin Labs, the leading developer of autonomous flight technology for fixed-wing aircraft, announced that it has raised a $105 million Series B round from Snowpoint and Baille Gifford, with major participation by Google Ventures, JS Capital, and First Round. The round follows Merlin’s 2021 $25 million Series A round led by GV and First Round Capital, bringing its total funding to $130 million to date.
In the year since the company’s emergence from stealth mode, it has achieved several significant milestones that have cemented it as the definitive autonomy system for legacy aircraft, validating its “crawl-walk-fly” approach with regulators and partners.
In September 2021, Merlin Labs announced that it had achieved approval of its certification basis for takeoff to touchdown autonomy system as part of a joint project with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) — the first of its kind in the world.
Also in 2021, the company announced a partnership with Dynamic Aviation as part of its launch, bringing autonomy to the world’s largest fleet of Beechcraft King Airs, and then announced its partnership with Ameriflight, the largest Part 135 cargo airline in the United States.
In addition to these milestones, Merlin Labs also announced a partnership in the form of an eight-figure contract with the United States Air Force to bring autonomy to the service’s C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft, the most-used cargo platform in the fleet. Mirroring its civilian applications, Merlin will help the Air Force enhance safety and operational flexibility.
Merlin’s software will enable a wide range of autonomous applications, including crew reduction, and eventual uncrewed flight, allowing for increased safety in the face of a global shortage of pilots.
About Merlin Labs
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Boston, with additional offices in Los Angeles, Denver, Mojave, and Auckland, NZ, Merlin Labs is building the definitive autonomy system for all things that fly.
