NBAA, ORLANDO, U.S.A.--(Marketwire - Oct. 7, 2008) - (NYSE:CGT)(TSX:CAE) - CAE has signed a long-term alliance with Honeywell under which CAE will become the preferred provider of training services for business, commercial and military aviation for Honeywell Aerospace.

Under this alliance CAE and Honeywell have joined forces to provide the aerospace industry with the highest quality training for technicians and flight operations personnel in locations worldwide. Through this alliance, customers will receive an innovative, seamless and consistent training experience incorporating the latest training technology and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) technical expertise. All training will be delivered by a joint Honeywell and CAE team of instructors and subject matter experts, which have proven experience with Honeywell's aircraft products and systems.

CAE will use its simulation-based technology to maintain and update Honeywell's courseware, which includes material for approximately 150 technical courses for a variety of aircraft types, in business, commercial and military aviation. CAE will begin delivering training programs onsite at Honeywell's facility in Phoenix, Arizona, and is slated to expand the offering to worldwide locations in CAE's network of training facilities beginning in late 2008.

"We believe that this new training approach will provide our customers with expanded, comprehensive, and worldwide training solutions," said Adrian Paull, Honeywell Vice President for Customer and Product Support. "To make sure the training meets our customers' needs we have asked the Technical Training Sub-committee from the NBAA/Honeywell Technical Committee to provide us guidance in courseware development and delivery as we develop this alliance."
