Cebu Pacific and global aviation training provider CAE have announced the expansion of their joint venture training center in Clark with the addition of an Airbus A330neo full-flight simulator (FFS).
The announcement was made during the Paris International Airshow on June 18. The new A330neo simulator is expected to be operational by December 2026 and will complement the existing A320 and ATR 72-600 simulators at the Clark training facility.
“Being the largest operator of the A330neo in Asia, this new simulator will provide additional training capacity and heighten the safe operation of this state-of-the-art aircraft,” said Cebu Pacific Chief Operations Officer Javier Massot. He added that the expansion will support Cebu Pacific’s growing widebody fleet and network.
As of June 2025, Cebu Pacific operates 11 A330neo aircraft, the most in Asia, with more units scheduled for delivery in the coming years. The airline uses the fuel-efficient aircraft on high-density routes across Asia and the Middle East.
CAE’s Division President for Commercial Aviation, Michel Azar-Hmouda, emphasized the importance of the expansion, saying, “The deployment of this new A330neo simulator strengthens our shared commitment to delivering world-class pilot training.”
Since its establishment in 2011, the Cebu Pacific-CAE Clark training center has played a key role in developing pilots in the Philippines and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
