MONTREAL - CAE has sold six full-flight simulators and signed training contracts mainly in Asia for more than $130 million.
The Montreal-based company says four of the devices for Boeing aircraft and two trainers have been sold to the Shanghai training subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines. One Airbus A320 simulator and pilot transition trainer is going to Airbus's Asian training centre.
