- April 2026 layoffs cut 280 jobs, exposing weak civil demand and Europe underperformance.
- Flightscape sale pressure risks undermining software differentiation if buyers demand a discount.
What makes CAE unique
- CAE dominates pilot training and simulators across civil and defense markets.
- The Flightscape review shows a valuable cloud-native aviation software platform, especially in 2026.
- India expansion with InterGlobe's Mumbai center strengthens CAE's training network density.
