Canadian simulator group CAE has signed a C$40 million ($29 million) 10-year agreement with LAN under which it will acquire the Latin American airline group's Santiago, Chile simulator centre and provide training on the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-200 and 767-300ER. CAE, which already has a Latin American training centre in São Paulo, Brazil, will take over the 737-200 simulator already in the Santiago centre and install existing A320 and 767-300ER simulators.

Boeing chief executive David Calhoun thinks the company could have its 737 Max 7 and Max 10 certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration in the first half of 2025, while cautioning that the regulator will determine ultimate timing.
Boeing still aims by year-end to boost production to 38 737s and five 787s monthly, returning to output levels at which the company had said it was operating prior to this year’s production slowdown.
Longtime aerospace executive and former Collins Aerospace chief Kelly Ortberg will succeed David Calhoun as Boeing’s chief executive on 8 August.
