Remark

  • The Academy is closed since 2012 and I found a report about this is in RTP Noticias Nov 19,2012."The company, according to the trade unionist, justified the closure of the airline pilot training school, which was established in Évora 11 years ago, with the reduction of students and the opening of a new academy in England."He opened a school in Oxford, diverted activity there, made big investments and objectively did not justify the [Évora] school going live," he said.Jorge Lopes lamented the decision and warned that the CAE will find different operating conditions in England."Here they have the possibility to fly almost all year, due to the weather, to make landings without instrumentation, in sight, and in England they will not have these conditions", besides that the air space in the Alentejo "is broad, without major interferences", Which is not the case at Oxford, he compared.Contacted by Lusa, the mayor of Évora, Jose Ernesto Oliveira, also regretted the end of the school belonging to the Global Academy of CAE, the world's largest airline pilot training group."

Headline: CAE Global Academy

I remember beeing there in the summer of 2005 and it was packed with students. I even went to ask the aerodrome director during is lunch if he authorized me to take some photos of the site. I was kindly authorized. Going back past 12 years and see no activity in the academy building breaks my heart.
