Diamond Aircraft completes DA42 deliveries to CAE, signs further deal for six DA40

Today, at the Aero in Friedrichshafen, Diamond Aircraft announced the handover of the seventh and final DA42-VI aircraft for flight training provider CAE, completing an order signed with the company in 2024. In addition, Diamond Aircraft has signed a further contract with CAE to provide six new DA40 NG aircraft.

"We are honoured that CAE has chosen to invest in Diamond Aircraft for its renowned flight training programs," said Jane Wang, Director for Sales, Marketing, and Flight Operations at Diamond Aircraft Austria. "CAE have operated Diamond aircraft in their flight schools for some time. That they've chosen to upgrade their fleet is testament to the DA40 and DA42 series' efficiency, safety, and technological advancement - in short, their perfect suitability for professional flight training."

The seven DA42 aircraft delivered to CAE feature a bespoke CAE livery and will be stationed at CAE's Bremen Flight Training Centre in Germany. Similarly, CAE will upgrade its DA40 fleet to the new DA40 NG aircraft in Montpellier, France. CAE provides training services through the Initial Flight Training Deutschland program since 2022, offering ab-initio flight training, including academic, simulator, and live-flying sessions in Bremen, Germany, and Montpellier, France.
