Our story so far… 

In 2018, two Canadian aviation leaders – KF Aerospace and CAE – came together to create SkyAlyne to jointly bid on the Government of Canada’s Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program.

What is the FAcT program? Currently, all Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) pilots are trained through two contracted programs. The NATO Flying Training in Canada  (NFTC) program in Moose Jaw, SK, is managed by Montreal-based CAE, and the Contracted Flying Training and Support  (CFTS) program in Southport, MB, is led by KF Aerospace. However, both these contacts will be replaced by FAcT, a next-generation solution combining all phases of pilot and aircrew training.

To determine the next single contractor for FAcT, the Government of Canada has announced a competitive bidding process and chosen a small number of pre-qualified suppliers, including SkyAlyne. The contract award is expected in 2022.

Today, we're hard at work preparing our proposal and ensuring that we will meet and exceed all RCAF and Government of Canada requirements to train the next generations of pilots and aircrew.

We continue to deliver two excellent training programs through our parent companies (KF and CAE) and are assembling a team of industry leaders and experts that stretches from coast to coast to coast.

We are also taking this time to come together as a team of Canada and for Canada. Not only do we strive to deliver an exceptional training program for our future men and women in uniform, but as the only truly Canadian qualified supplier for the FAcT program, we’re working to ensure all program benefits and potential future export benefits stay in Canada, helping to grow Canadian businesses and communities for many years to come.
